Avocado & Red Pepper Sandwich
Velvety, creamy, mashable (yet slice-and-diceable)…and a color that would make the Grinch envious. Who can resist avocadoes? Not me! I make guacamole with them, I serve strips of avocado in wraps and atop salads, alongside fish and strewn atop chili. You just can’t beat ripe avocadoes for the warmth and richness they bring to almost any dish.
This variation began when I decided I wanted to make an open-faced pita sandwich and top it with avocado. It didn’t take long for me to decide that what I really wanted was the avocado, so why not make it the star rather than a supporting actor? To make this luscious-yet-light “sandwich,” I mashed half an avocado with half of a minced red pepper, a minced green onion, a squirt of lemon juice, and a pinch of sea salt. The smoothness of the avocado was a perfect foil for the crunch of the red pepper. If you like your lunch spicy, just add a bit of cayenne or crushed red pepper flakes.
Enjoy!
