Ingredients
Avocado and Cilantro Salad with Lime
Rinse the lime under hot water and pat dry. Finely grate the zest, and squeeze the juice from the limes.
Halve the avocados and remove the seeds. Slice the fruit, peel, and dice into small pieces. Mix the avocado pieces with the lime juice.
Rinse, dry, and coarsely chop the cilantro. Mix with the avocado. Rinse the chili, halve, core, remove the membrane, and dice into small pieces.
Mix the chilis into the avocado mixture. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then set aside for 30 minutes. Serve lightly chilled.

Healthy, because
Although avocados contain a lot of fat, this is super: because they are rich in unsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E, which protects the body from free radicals.
Even smarter
Not everyone likes coriander - if you feel the same way, you can replace the herb in this recipe with parsley or basil, for example.
