Herbs: I used fresh oregano and mint for this recipe, but you can experiment with different fresh herbs you have on hand or are trying to use up.

Avocado: Avocadoes are a healthy fat that are not only filling, but also have a lot of benefits. They are a great source of potassium, fiber, folate, and not to mention they’re so good and creamy.

1. Into a large bowl, combine all the ingredients apart from the avocado and stir till combined.
2. You can store it in the refrigerator in individual containers or 1 large container.
