Pretty Green Salad

Written By Josephine Muir

This salad is elegant in it’s simplicty. The peppery rocket is balanced by the creamy avocado and sweet blueberries and cucumber.

Avocados are packed full of healthy monsaturated fat, which is great for heart health. They are also an excellent source of vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin B6, potassium, folate and fibre.

What’s not to love? Well - avocados also contains the FODMAP sorbitol., which can be a gut irritant. Stick to a safe portion of 1/8 avocado (30g) per person.
