As usual, I was staring inside my fridge for some quick fix  inspiration. Then I see my avocado ripe and ready to eat so I decide to make Avocado salad. As for the dressing, I did not have time to make anything from scratch.  Right then my eyes are drawn to the mint-coriander chutney which is almost over and ready to be wiped clean. So pops the idea to use it for my salad dressing.
