Peach, Avocado and Macadamia Nut Salad

by jenny in Body Food

Nothing says summer like a delicious, juicy peach, so we’ve made them the highlight of this recipe. They pair perfectly with creamy avocados and toasty, crunchy macadamia nuts. This satisfying salad is easy to make and goes well with just about anything. Enjoy!

Time: 15 minutes

Serves: 2 as a side and four as a condiment (if using as salsa or topping)

Ingredients:
2 ripe avocados, cut into medium sized chunks
3 ripe peaches, cut into medium sized chunks
juice of 1 lime
1/4 cup macadamia nuts
2 tablespoon fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
1 teaspoon ground (toasting is optional) coriander seed

Directions:
Toast macadamia nuts in a pan over low heat until golden brown. When cooled, chop roughly and set aside.

Chop the peaches and avocados into the same size square-ish chunks and place in a bowl.

Add toasted nuts.

Squeeze lime juice over, and gently toss until well combined.

Grind coriander seeds and chop cilantro. Add to the rest of the ingredients and give another quick toss.

Serve over some fresh greens or grilled chicken. OR better yet, check in next Monday and pair with our delicious salmon quesadillas! Recipe coming!
