Faitrade Mango & Avocado Salad with Sticky Balsamic Vinegar
Serves 4
Ingredients
Generous handful of pine nuts
Olive oil for toasting
Handful of lettuce leaves
2 small Fairtrade avocados (not too ripe)
3 small or medium, ripe Fairtrade mangoes
1 ripe Fairtrade lime
Good quality balsamic vinegar
Method
Mix the pine nuts with a little olive oil and place in the oven on a baking tray to toast for five minutes, or until nicely golden. Meanwhile, rinse and arrange the lettuce leaves in a bowl. Peel the avocados and mangoes and slice them lengthways into generous pieces. Mix and arrange them on a plate – but avoid damaging the delicate fruit. Add a generous squeeze of lime juice, a drizzle of the stickiest balsamic vinegar you can get your hands on, and scatter the toasted pine nuts on the top.

Fairtrade Fortnight Starts Today
Akwaba, Gorgeous!
Fairtrade is an important part of what makes us tick here at Tamu. Paying fair wages not only builds good karma for Tamu customers, it helps build a healthy community in Goaso, Ghana, where our organic, unrefined shea butter is produced.
The Fairtrade movement is blossoming in the UK. Overall the ethical market has expanded from £13.5bn in 1999 to £36bn in 2009.
If you'd like to learn more about Fairtrade Fortnight, or want to see what you can do to contribute, please visit www.fairtrade.org.uk
Join Tamu for Fairtrade Tea on February 28!
At my church on February 28, I'll be offering special discounts on Tamu products, plus tea, coffee, biscuits and homemade cakes made with Fairtrade ingredients. There will also be lots of information about buying Fairtrade. All profits will go to an orphanage in India seen in the photo below - just look at them cuties! :o)
