Slaai, another way to enjoy avocado

Discover Slaai, a deceptively simple salad found in Swazi cuisine. It's a different way to enjoy the bounty of Eswatini's orchards, combining it with vibrant and contrasting flavors. It features meltingly tender avocado cubes marinated in lemon juice and fresh ginger, topped with the crunch of roasted peanuts. Naturally gluten-free and 100% plant-based, Slaai is the perfect starter for those seeking a healthy, quick, and nutrient-rich recipe. This salad pairs perfectly with a summer barbecue: proof that just a few ingredients are all it takes to create a dish that's a little different.

Preparation time: 10 minutes

Rest time: 10 minutes

Total time 20 minutes

Cooking method: Traditional

Difficulty: Beginner

Servings: 4

Special diet: naturally gluten-free

Ingredients

2 ripe avocados (but still firm)
2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice.
1 tsp of grated fresh ginger.
50g of roasted and roughly chopped peanuts (preferably unsalted)
A pinch of salt.

Preparation

1
Preparing the avocados: Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit and dice the flesh into medium-sized cubes. Place them in a salad bowl.
2
The seasoning: In a small bowl, mix the lemon juice, grated ginger, and salt.
3
The marinade: Pour this mixture over the avocados. Stir very gently so as not to crush the avocado cubes, ensuring they are well coated.
4
The crunch: Just before serving, generously sprinkle the crushed peanuts on top. This helps retain their crunch.
5
Serving suggestion: Serve chilled, as is, as an appetizer or as a side dish with grilled chicken.
