Gather a large mixing bowl, a vegetable chopping board, a good chopping knife and a regular spoon (for mixing).

Wash all your vegetables (peel or scrape the carrot if necessary) then start chopping. Everything needs to be chopped into similar size pieces - aim for pea/sweetcorn size dice. Place each chopped vegetable into your mixing bowl and mix together. Add the nectarine and avocado last. (If you wish to leave a few strips for decorating, do this)

Roll the lime along the worktop to release the juice, then cut in half, discard any pips and squeeze one half of the lime (juice) over the salad.

Add black pepper and pecans (if using) just before serving.

Enjoy!
