Free Healthy Recipe - Rocket, Basil and Avocado Salad with Nigella seeds

Dairy free, Low carbohydrate

Nigella seeds (often incorrectly called black cumin seeds) are miraculous little gems - they help hay fever, headaches, hair loss, asthma, that rundown feeling, even laziness. You'll often see them baked on top of Turkish bread - they have a lovely, unusual flavour and are great for health.

Ingredients
1 large bunch baby rocket (aragula)
½ cup fresh basil leaves, loosely packed
4 tbsp olive oil
½ lime juiced
pinch sea salt
1 avocado sliced
lemon slices to serve
za'tar to serve (see recipe list)
olive oil to serve
Method

Dry roast the nigella seeds in a pan until fragrant. Set aside to cool.

Wash and dry the rocket and basil leaves. Mix the oil, vinegar and lime juice together with the sea salt. Arrange the salad leaves on a flat platter with the avocado slices on top. Sprinkle the dressing over the salad and top with the nigella seeds. Serve with slices of lemon, a liberal sprinkling of za'tar and olive oil.
