One of my favorite foods in the whole wide world is avocado. It's a great thing to love because they have nearly 20 essential nutrients, including fiber, potassium, Vitamin E, B-vitamins, and folic acid. The only thing that I need to be careful with is that they are loaded with calories as well. One whole medium sized avocado is a whooping 250 calories! I was recipe searching back in April and came upon a mango-avocado salsa that I just had to try. We've had mango salsa many times before, but adding avocado was a whole new ball game. It was quite simple... cubed avocado, mango (I used frozen), and tomato, plus some diced red onion. Mix it all up and there you go. I served it over BBQ grilled chicken. Usually we have our chicken smothered with BBQ sauce, but this time I only marinaded it in some Budwiser brand BBQ sauce. Millard put it on the grill and held off on the extra sauce. It was a good choice. Our sides were sauteed a mix of fresh and frozen peas and asparagus.
So did this salad manage to keep you full all afternoon? I find that salads (but soup even more so) don't tend to keep me full until suppertime!
ReplyDeleteSurprisingly I did ok. I was keeping busy in the yard so my mind wasn't on eating, but by meal time again I was starving. It was delicious though!
ReplyDeleteOOOHHH...YUM! I love fruit in my salad! I'm sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, it's been a crazy couple of weeks...good crazy! I forgot to tell you about my large zucchini...well, I don't eat them plain that large. I use them in zucchini bread and such when they get that big. After every rain, I can count on getting a couple that big. Now my cucumbers, beans, and crowder peas are going wild! Take care!
