Avocados go great with just about any meal. Finding new ways to serve them is always fun. This side salad is simple and great for a hot day.
Ingredients:
1 Avocado (cut into chunks)
1 Tomato (cut into chunks)
1/2 TBS honey
Pinch Salt
1 TBS Lime Juice or Vinegar
Gently mix avocado and tomato in a bowl. Then add honey, salt and lime juice. Mix well but gently so you don’t break up the avocado. Serve cold.
Normally I choose a vinegar based dressing on my salad but sometimes you are just in the mood for a creamy dressing. Using an avocado is a nutritious, healthy and paleo dressing option.
Ingredients:
1/2 Avocado
1 Tbs Honey
Juice of 1 Lime
Salt and Pepper to Taste
Simple place avocado, honey and lime juice in a food processor or blender. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Toss dressing on salad greens and enjoy.
Avocados are great this time of year and finding new things to do with them is always fun. For this recipe I decided to kick a regular gauc recipe up a bit. With a fruity twists it can go with anything or be enjoyed on its own.
Ingredients:
2 Avocados (peeled and cut in half)
1 Lime
1/2 Cup Cilantro
1/2 cup Pineapple Chunks
Pinch Salt
Pinch Pepper
Start by crushing avocado in a bowl with the back of a fork. Add the juice of the lime and continue to crush avocado until you get a smooth constancy. Chop the cilantro well and add to avocado mix. You can also use a small food processor up to this point. Then chop the pineapple well and also add to avocado and cilantro. Now mix with a fork to combine. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve cold with chips or on seafood.
I have grown up loving lox. The salty flavor, bright color and creamy texture. Even the smallest amount often has a high price tag so I decided that I’d a great dish to re-do at home and make up the classic way with a wonderful gluten free bagel form Sweet Note Bakery.
Don’t be scared of this it’s easy!
1 pound fresh center cut salmon
2 Tbs Salt
2 Tbs Cure Salt (pink)
3Tbs Tbs Brown Sugar
1 Tbs Parsley
Rice and dry salmon well. Place plastic wrap on counter surface with salmon on top. Add both salts and sugar into a food processor and blend together well.
Pour half if the mixture in too on side if fish and run in. Flip and repeat on the other side. Now wrap fish well with plastic wrap and put into a casserole
dish. You need to press down the salmon and its easy to do with extra cans. Place In fridge and flip very 24 hours. Salmon is ready in about three day. All you need to do is rinse and dry well. Then slice thin to curve.
