Strawberry Salsa Stuffed Avocado

We have a plentiful supply of strawberries at the moment & this little salsa is so yummy

I had to share this Strawberry Salsa Stuffed Avocado recipe.

A simple & satisfying summer time meal. We've been eating it on crackers with cream cheese or in salads, also as a side dish, light lunch or to take to a BBQ. Have it on its own or with a crusty loaf of bread.

AVOCADO FILLED WITH STRAWBERRY SALSA RECIPE

~Recipe from The Veggie Tree Spring and Summer Cookbook~

Vegan | Gluten-free

Serves 4 – 6

Gather your ingredients.

Take a small bowl & add:

½ red onion, finely diced

2 T balsamic reduction or 2 T balsamic vinegar (you may like to add ½ tsp of unrefined sugar to the mix)

½ tsp Himalayan salt

a few cracks of black pepper

Mix together & leave to marinate for 10 minutes. Then add:

8-10 strawberries, finely diced

1 sprig fresh mint, finely chopped

2 sprigs of basil, finely chopped

Mix together. Halve your avocados, remove the pip & skin carefully. Slice a little flat side on the outside curve so the avo is stable on the plate. Then fill the pip holes with your salsa & top with:

80 g macadamia nuts, finely chopped.

Serve on a bed of rocket, baby spinach or salad greens from your garden & garnish with edible flowers if you have them or the smaller basil leaves.
