"My daughter made me this salad once. She said that it was from the Meal-in-a-minute TV advert but this version doesn't use any Watties products. (Not that there is anything wrong with bottled sauces but I prefer to make my own dressing) This is a nice easy recipe that makes a good side dish to some steamed fish."

"I used to hate avocados until I moved to New Zealand, but it's considered odd if you don't eat them! I created this salad and the acid from the tomatoes and a bit of salt and pepper make them divine. I now LOVE them! This makes a great healthy stand alone lunch or dinner and the colours in it are vibrant and tempting. Enjoy!"
