Avocado Ingredients:

• Avocado
• olive oil
• salt for seasoning

Salsa Ingredients:

• diced tomatoes(seeds removed)
• diced red onion
• cilantro
• salt
• pepper
• shredded carrots

Instructions for  grilled avocado slices:

• Cut avocado in half and remove the seed and peel.
• Slice each half into slices.
• Brush with olive oil.
• Place for two minutes on each side
• Season to taste.
• Serve on Rye bread or rye crisps with salsa on top.

Instructions for grilled Avocado halves:

• Cut avocado in half and remove seed. Keep the peel on.
• Lightly brush olive oil on each open side of the avocado.
• place the avocado on the grill with the meat side down.
• Grill for about 2 minutes.
• Season to taste.
• Fill the avocado with Salsa and serve using the avocado as a small bowl.

Instructions for Salsa:

Place all the ingredients in a bowl and mix with a hand blender.  Pulse a few times to add a juice to the salsa but avoid over mixing and making a sauce.  Salsa is chunky so avoid over blending.

After you have mixed the ingredients, add seasoning to taste and then let it sit for a few hours so the flavours can combine.

NOTE:  You can decide to add an egg or other protein to your avocado meal.  We talked before about eggs in an avocado which makes  a filling meal.  This recipe would also work really well with Chickpea chips.
