Haas avocados make the perfect guacamole. Rich, nutty, creamy perfection. But, oh so expensive. Year ago, when I bought my house in 2010, I drove down to a nursery in Homestead and picked out a baby avocado tree. Florida avocado are huge, have more yellow fruit and can be a little bitter, so I find they work best tossed in something like ceviche, mango avocado salad or gazpacho. Over the last year I’ve been babying my tree by feeding it with a teaspoon of seaweed concentrate every month or so and this year I had a bumper crop.

Today for lunch I wanted something filling and clean and an avocado salad sounded just right! This is a breeze to make. Florida avocados are huge so you just need one! (Serves 3-4)

1 Florida avocado - peeled, pitted and chopped into 2cm cubes

Juice of 1 lime

1 can of garbanzos drained 

1 cucumber peeled and chopped 

2T sliced red onion

2T chopped cilantro

Dash of salt and pepper 

1 t olive oil

Mix ingredients by tossing. Drizzle olive oil over the top. Toss lightly. Serve over a bed of iceberg lettuce for lunch, with a tostada and egg for brunch or just savor alone.❤️

Yes! My kind of Sunday lunch
