Salt and black pepper
1. In a food processor, puree the avocados, cilantro, lime juice, sour cream, hot

AVOCADO TOAST
1 slice of bread (I like Ezekiel sprouted bread or homemade sourdough best)
½ ripe avocado
Pinch of salt
2 ripe avocados
4 pastured eggs
Sea salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp. grass-fed butter
Optional Garnishes: Crumbled organic feta cheese, chopped walnuts, salsa,
cayenne pepper, fresh chives, cilantro, etc.
GRILLED AVOCADO
1 avocado
Olive oil, brushed
Salt and pepper, to taste
PICKLED AVOCADO
½ cup distilled white vinegar
1 tbsp. kosher salt
1 tbsp. sugar
½ tsp. whole coriander seeds
½ tsp. whole cumin seeds
2 ripe but still firm avocados
6 fresh cilantro sprigs
1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
1/2 jalapeno or serrano chile, stemmed, seeded and cut into thick
matchsticks
Zest of 1 lime, removed with a vegetable peeler
1. Combine the vinegar, salt, sugar, coriander seeds, cumin seeds and ½ cup
water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the salt and
sugar. Remove the pan from the heat and let cool to room temperature.
2. Halve, pit and peel the avocados, then cut them into ½ inch-thick slices.
Place the avocado slices in a wide-mouth pint-size glass jar along with the
cilantro sprigs, garlic, jalapeno and lime zest. Pour the cooled brine into the
jar and cover.
3. Gently turn the jar upside down and rotate to mix the aromatics, avocado
and brine evenly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
* The pickled avocado slices will keep, tightly sealed in the refrigerator, for up
to 1 week.
STUFFED AVOCADO
2 – 4 avocados, sliced in half and seed removed
1 lemon, juice of small handful grape tomatoes, diced
1/3 cucumber, diced
1/3 orange bell pepper, cored and diced
1 jalapeno, seeds removed and diced
¼ red onion or 1 small shallot, diced
1 garlic clove, minced or 1/8 – 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1 – 2 tbsp. hummus or vegan mayo
Sea salt & fresh cracked pepper, to taste
Prepare the ingredients. Once you’ve sliced the avocados and removed the
seeds, squeeze or rub a little lemon juice on the flesh to keep the browning at
bay.
Place the tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, jalapeno, onion, and garlic in a
small/medium mixing bowl, add just enough of the hummus/tahini/vegan mayo
to bind.
Fill avocados and top with salt, pepper and squeeze of lemon.
