Beltane 2026

The Friday before last (1st May) it was Beltane. (Some people celebrate from sundown on 30th April to sundown on 1st May.) I usually make guacamole or salad for this sabbat. In recent years I've tended to make a salad and buy guacamole) most often kachumbari (Kenyan tomato and onion salad). But in 2019 I made both.

Tis uear I decided to make an avocado salad, which I've made a couple of times before.The recipe is from Precious Core (whose recipe for kchumari I also use): https://www.preciouscore.com/simple-healthy-avocado-salad/  

It's similar to kachumbari (I shared both of them in my Salads for Beltane + Extra Ideas! post in 2024). I had it for my lunch with some ciabatta rolls, savoury eggs, feta parcels, chicken sausages, sea salt and vinegar crisps, and onion and garlic dip. 

Here's a pic: 

The cutlery got in the salad a bit!
