I simply adore avocados. So today I decided to not smoosh my beautiful green healthy friend and serve her whole in all her glory.
These would make such cute appetizers. You could obviously add anything in there, I chose some seasonably appropriate walnuts with a little added kick.
Ingredients:
-2 avocados, firm but soft
For the filling:
-1/2 cup chopped walnuts (soak and dehydrate for better digestion)
-1/4 cup apple, peeled and small chop
-1/4 cup red onion, small chop
-1/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
-1/4 cup walnut oil
-1/2 teaspoon dried basil
-1/4 teaspoon garlic granules
-1/4 teaspoon sea salt (or to taste)
How To:
1. In a small bowl, mix lemon, oil, basil, garlic, and salt
2. Add walnuts, onions, and apple
3. Let flavors mingle for a few hours before serving (the longer the better)
4. Add to avocado
5. Drizzle a little oil on the top before serving

It has been simply gorgeous and warm here in Northern California - around 80 degrees yesterday. My winter garden is loving all this sun and the little sprouts are singing. We are all, however, anxiously waiting for the rain here in the valley and snow to drop up in Tahoe so we can hit the slopes!

Soaking up their green while we can.
