Avocado Appetizer

See the tiny grains of salt on the edge? I love my HTC phone camera!

This is about the simplest recipe possible. I had a few avocados leftover from when I made guacamole, so I looked in Fannie Farmer. She didn't have many recipes for avocados. Maybe they weren't very common cuisine in the 1890s!

Anyhow, this is one recipe I found. It's called "Avocados as the first course" in The Boston Cooking School cookbook.

Ingredients + cookbook.

Here's how to make it.

Cut an avocado in half.

Sprinkle with lemon juice and salt.

Fill the seed cavity with French Dressing.


And voila, a tasty little side dish, snack, or appetizer. This was the easiest 'salad' recipe ever. And delicious and healthy. Definitely will be making this again and again. Simply perfect, perfectly simple.
