Spelt and Avocado Za’atar Salad

Spelt and Avocado Za’atar Salad

By OcadoLifePublished on 09 December 2021Perfect for making ahead – add the avocados just before serving for optimal freshness. Spelt is an ancient grain with a sweet, nutty chewiness. It works really well in salads and tastes especially good alongside cherry tomatoes. Add sesame seeds and radish coins for extra crunch.
