Just wanted to share the easy, delicious and surprisingly filling dinner I made last night. It was inspired by the stuffed avocado salad I had at Candle 79 on saturday. (post coming soon!) Thanks to my mom who gave me these two large, ripe avocados from her tree!
Easy Stuffed Avocado Salad
1 large, ripe avocado, halved and peeled
2 handfuls of greens (I used baby spinach)
2 small tomatoes, sliced into eighths or thinner
1 – 1 1/2 cups of cooked brown rice, warm or cold
2 tbsp. of sunflower seeds, optional
3 tbsp. of salad dressing (I used balsamic vinaigrette)
Salt & Pepper
Directions:
Arrange one half avocado on each dinner plate and surround with salad greens. Top greens with sliced tomatoes. Place 1/2 of cooked brown rice into each avocado and sprinkle with sunflower seeds. Drizzle lightly with dressing and salt & pepper to taste.
Wow, what I’d give to have an avocado tree in my garden!
I can’t believe it’s never actually occurred to me to stuff an avocado – I can’t wait to try this!
