Simple supper: Avocados with dressing
Avocados are a very easy, nutritious and surprisingly filling supper snack, and undeniably easy to prepare

Ingredients 1 avocado per person (bought a few days in advance to ripen) Good olive oil Balsamic vinegar Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Method This is a very quick and easy first course or a very light supper snack. Slice the avocados lengthways and remove the stone. In the hollow left by the stone, drizzle a little olive oil, a drop or two of balsamic vinegar, a grind of black pepper and a pinch of salt. If you're home late, this is a very easy, nutritious and surprisingly filling supper snack.

Country Life is unlike any other magazine: the only glossy weekly on the newsstand and the only magazine that has been guest-edited by HRH The King not once, but twice. It is a celebration of modern rural life and all its diverse joys and pleasures — that was first published in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year. Our eclectic mixture of witty and informative content — from the most up-to-date property news and commentary and a coveted glimpse inside some of the UK's best houses and gardens, to gardening, the arts and interior design, written by experts in their field — still cannot be found in print or online, anywhere else.
