Bunny chow, potjiekos, shisa nyama, koeksisters and biltong. Some foods are so woven into our heritage, it\u2019s impossible to be South African and not<\/em> love them.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another thing that\u2019s proudly South African? Homegrown avos, of course, and no Heritage Month would be complete without them!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

With the arrival of the warmer weather, it\u2019s the perfect time to ditch the hot comfort foods of winter for the zesty freshness of spring-themed salads. Avos are bold and bright, and as refreshing as a spring breeze, putting them on top of the ingredient list when it comes to salads for your Heritage Month picnic or braai.<\/p>\n

Speaking of braais, September is also Braai4Heritage Month \u2013 and what\u2019s a spring braai without salads, or salads without avo, right? Spring, braais, salads and avos, they all go hand-in-hand like boerie and rolls with an extra dollop of chakalaka.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no shortage of inspiration for sumptuous salads for the braai. Continue your family\u2019s time-honoured salad traditions like potato salad, pasta salad or three bean salad and add an avo for a springtime twist or try one of the season\u2019s new braai salads for size.<\/p>\n

This Heritage Month we\u2019re whisking up avocado and iceberg salad with avocado and cashew nut cream dressing. It\u2019s rich and creamy, with a hint of dill adding a Mediterranean touch (which makes it particularly well suited to al fresco dining!)<\/p>\n

But we\u2019re also adding avos as our braai sides: as guacamole with chilli on grilled mielies; cubed with chopped tomatoes and cucumber for the original braai slaai; and halved, stoned, seasoned and dressed with avocado oil and lemon juice for a no-fuss serving of green goodness.<\/p>\n

We all know the best part about having a braai are the leftovers you get to enjoy the next day. Well, we\u2019re delighted to say there are avo salad recipes for those days as well. Chicken and avo club salad gets our vote, because not only is it fresh and tangy, but filling too.<\/p>\n

As if you needed any more reasons to whip up an avo-laced salad this Heritage Month, consider for a second that it\u2019s the ultimate feel-good food that\u2019s also load-shedding friendly!<\/p>\n

Get out your vellies, dust off your vuvuzela and fly the flag high, because it\u2019s Heritage Month and South African avocados are on the menu.<\/p>\n
