Summer radish and avocado salad

The creamy avocado is the perfect way to counteract the spiciness of the radishes. And the bite stands in for jalapeno in traditional guacamole.

Jamie Oliver

8 fresh radishes
2 ripe avocados
medium red onion
2 cloves garlic
2 medium Roma tomatoes
Olive oil
sea salt
pepper

This recipe will serve about 4. It's really nice and fresh and the flavors are so simple but lovely. Best if served the day you make it as the avocado will turn brown.

Remove the leaves of the radishes and run a rough chop through them. Add them to a bowl and sprinkle with sea salt. Add two avocados chopped into small cubes, 2 gloves of garlic minced, medium red onion sliced thin, and two Roma tomatoes chopped (do not core or remove seeds). Add about 2 Tablespoons of good olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Mix all ingredients together and chill for 20 minutes.
