This is a fun and easy idea for a healthy dinner or some lunches to make ahead for the week. All the ingredients keep well and fresh in the fridge for A few days - make sure to separate out the components if you are storing in Tupperware to stop anything going soggy. Adding the lime to the avocado should stop it browning, however, it still may a little. This is still fine to eat though. It can be adapted to suit your Tastes: swap quinoa for rice, black beans for kidneys beans, spinach for the slaw, or add in some extras like cooked peppers or mushrooms.


It can be easily adapted to have a bit more protein by adding feta or chicken to the top. To be a more filling meal, all the ingredients can also be stuffed into a tortilla wrap.


For some extra crunch, try sprinkling some crushed nachos over the top.
