I found this in the organic section and was a little stunned! Finding this HUGE of an avocado means recipe time! If I'd needed to bring something for a party I would have made some guac, but instead I made one of my favorite salads. This insanely giant creature made more salad than I could eat in one sitting... Avocado Bean Salad with citrus dressing If you don't have an enormous avocado and just his regular sized brother or sister, use approximately 2-4 avocados for this recipe. Start by chopping them up. I open the avocado, and make a criss-cross slice in the flesh while it is still in the shell, them scoop it out. But whatever works. One giant avocado, or 2-4 smaller ones 1 minced garlic clove 1Tbsp minced fresh ginger 6-7 cherry tomatoes, sliced 1 can beans juice of one lemon 2 Tbsp hemp hearts pinch sea salt 1/2 tsp pepper Eating on this diet has from day one been about being healthy and good to myself and the environment. It was never a goal of mine to lose weight or drop dress sizes. But after a while it is hard to ignore the visible difference in the mirror. I've been shopping at second hand stores for the most part to avoid the consumerist world we are constantly bombarded with when we walk out the door. Also, to not contribute to this culture of waste and over production we live in. A side effect of that is I haven't really known my own dress size for quite some time. Second hand clothing is usually sized from a different time, or has shrunk over time. At the Superstore buying the additions I needed for this salad I was bitten by a curiosity bug... so I ventured over to the Joe brand selections, and I tried on a pair of pants. I brought 3 in with me, because I had no idea my size. Tried the biggest on first.. nope. I had only brought the smallest in by chance, thinking, no friggin' way I'm that small. I had to do a double take.
So I feel No guilt eating my own weight in avocado, on of the fattiest of the vegan food. Get those noms in me!
