I’m always looking for fresh ideas for lunches that are tasty and healthy but also quick. This idea is inspired by my mum who in the days we had a family hotel used to make a starter with warm avocado in lovely white shell dishes. It was delicious and I now have the dishes as a little bonus 🙂
Avocados are highly nutritous and a great source of monounsaturated fats (heart healthy), potassium, fibre and carotenoids. Although high in calories these are all good calories.
So here is our new favourite way to eat them…

The version I make: drizzle olive oil on bread & toast it. Meanwhile mash up 1 avocado, chop up some baby toms or 1 large tom, add some salt, pepper & a squeeze of lemon juice. Mix & spoon onto the toasted bread. Sometimes I add some crushed garlic to the mix for extra zing too. D-E-licious….
Nomalicious I shall be trying that out!
