Sorry it's been almost 3 weeks since my last post - how shameful! Work got totally nuts and I absolutely (mostly) fell off the paleo bandwagon. For shame.
However, I am back to enlighten you all on the merits of avocado. Seriously, this is the best food item on the planet. Versatile, yummy, fantastic for you. It's amazing. And I just discovered how wonderful it is when you grill it. You heard me - break out those grills!
Plus, this is all entirely paleo! Special thanks to Relay Foods for always providing amazing produce. I love you guys!
Grilled Avocado
Ingredients
- 1 Ripe Avocado
- Lime or Lime Juice
- Olive Oil
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
Instructions
It can't get any easier than this, folks. Cut the avocado in half and take the pit out. Brush it with a combination of olive oil and lime juice (not a ton, just brush it), salt and pepper it a little, then toss it on a medium-high grill for 5-7 minutes, flesh side down.
Then put them on a plate, put fresh salsa where the pit used to be, and top with some more salt and pepper. Et voila. You have an excellent side dish (one half), or you have a healthy, filling lunch (both halves).
Fresh Salsa
Ingredients
This is all up to you with proportions/ingredients/etc. But here's what I used today because I had it all on hand:
- 1/4 onion
- 1/3 pint grape tomatoes
- 1/3 jalapeño pepper
- bunch of cilantro (from the garden - aren't you proud of me?!)
- splash of lime juice
- 1 tbsp (ish) of olive oil
Instructions
Put it all together in a blender and pulse it until it's the consistency you want! (That simple, folks...there's no excuse to not make your own salsa all the time.) You can leave out some of the olive oil - that's what's made it a little different colored in the photo above.
