Avocado, sweet potato and capsicum salad

There's nothing like a protein packed meal straight after a big run (I went for a long run this morning) but without a heavy meal on the stomach, a salad is the perfect option. Avocados are high in protein (I grew up on them, my dad is a vegetarian and they are one of his major sources of protein so we always had a surplus).

Here I used 1x chopped up avocado,
half a red capsicum, half a green capsicum,
half a chopped sweet potato that I steamed for 5 minutes,
1 x small chopped cucumber,
2 tablespoons of my homemade mayonnaise (see previous blog post),
a squeeze of lemon juice, a sprinkle of salt,
1 tablespoon of almond meal and 2 teaspoons chopped pistachio nuts.
