8reasons to<br />

LOVEavo<br />

The avocado is without a doubt one of nature’s most luxurious<br />

foods: rich and creamy and subtly-flavoured. Plus side: it’s also<br />

super healthy. Here are eight reasons why we’re loving avo.<br />

Try this:<br />

Warm winter avo salad<br />

With… Tenderstem broccoli, avocado<br />

and bacon dressed with warm anchovy<br />

butter<br />

150 g streaky bacon<br />

230 g tenderstem broccoli, blanched<br />

1 – 2 avocados, pitted and peeled<br />

A handful baby spinach, for serving<br />

A handful microgreens, for serving<br />

8 anchovy fillets, finely chopped<br />

100 g butter<br />

4 garlic cloves, finely grated<br />

1 lemon, juiced<br />

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Bake streaky<br />

bacon until crisp. Arrange on a plate<br />

with blanched Tenderstem broccoli,<br />

the flesh of avocados, baby spinach<br />

and a few microgreens. Finely chop<br />

anchovy fillets, then melt in a pan with<br />

butter and finely grated garlic cloves<br />

over a low heat. When all the butter has<br />

melted, add the juice of 1 lemon and<br />

whisk. Spoon liberally over the salad<br />

while still warm.<br />
