Ingredients

• 2 avocados
• 100g feta
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 bunch of chives
• 1 pinch of salt
• 1 pinch of pepper
• 1 pinch of chilli flakes

Method

You’ll need: chopping board · knife · mixing bowl

1. Halve and stone the avocados and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Roughly mash with a fork.
2. Crumble the feta over the top and stir it in with the lemon juice. Mix everything so the spread still keeps some texture.
3. Finely snip the chives and fold them in. That keeps the fresh note.
4. Season to taste with salt, pepper and chilli flakes if you like. Stir briefly once more.
5. Serve the spread straight away or store it chilled in an airtight container. Stir briefly before eating and spread fresh on bread or serve with raw veg.

Good to know

A spread like this saves tired snack times. Creamy, salty, fresh – and on the table in a few minutes.

Swaps

Feta → soft goat's cheese (often a little milder, also provides protein and calcium); chives → parsley (brings a little more vitamin K); lemon → lime (similar nutrient profile, slightly more bitter in flavour); feta → cottage cheese (more protein, but much less salty and less creamy)

Allergens

Contains milk from the feta. Usually good for children – leave out the chilli and go easy on the salt. During pregnancy, only use feta made from pasteurised milk.
