This vibrant avocado with pomegranate salsa verde is a refreshing vegan starter that celebrates fresh, seasonal ingredients. The creamy texture of the ripe avocados provides a perfect base for the zesty salsa, which is packed with fragrant coriander, mint, and salty preserved lemon. It is a sophisticated yet simple dish that relies on the contrast between the rich fruit and the bright, acidic dressing.

Perfect as a light lunch or an elegant dinner party appetiser, this healthy plant-based dish takes mere minutes to assemble. The addition of pomegranate seeds provides a wonderful crunch and a burst of jewel-like colour, making it a feast for the eyes as well as the palate. Serve it simply with warm flatbreads or as part of a larger Mediterranean-inspired spread.
