Avocado, Mint and Feta Salad

I made this salad when I went to my friend Tara's for our Steak night - something we do every six ish weeks - we always have a lovely time, eat steak, drink wine and watch a ridiculously girly film!!

For this salad you will need - this made enough for 4 servings as an accompaniment to a meal but could serve 2 as a main meal. -

Lambs Lettuce - a bag of
Feta - 100g
1 ripe avocado
a handful of mint
seeds - I added a handful or 2 of roasted mixed seeds
half red onion
2 limes - the zest and the juice
a few glugs of olive oil

In a large mixing bowl add the olive oil, lime zest and juice to make the dressing. Cut the avocado down the middle cutting round the stone, pop out the stone, skin the avocado and chop up the flesh into cubes and place in the salad bowl. Chop the mint leaves, onion and feta and add to the bowl. Add the lambs lettuce. Toss the salad well so everything is coated with the dressing. Sprinkle over the seeds and its ready to serve.(I also added some dried chilli flakes - a little spice and touch of red looks great against the white of the feta and gives a bit of a kick against the zesty lime and creamy feta)
