It’s avocado season! The best time to eat avocados is alllllllll summer long. I’ve been eating avocados in the morning with poached eggs, for lunch in my sandwiches, and for dinner in my salads. Avocados are even better in the summer, now that I’m a mom. It’s the easiest baby food to bring with me and serve. Just mash it up with a fork and it’s smooth enough for Ellie to eat!
I’ve only tried giving avocados to Ellie once, so I’ll have to try again to see how she really likes it now that she’s tasted a variety of fruits/veggies. She could be like my DH, though, and hate avocados. How is that even possible? I’ll never know.
This is a fast lunch recipe that you can whip up in no time. I love the ready to eat salmon packages that you find in the grocery store. They’re convenient since they don’t have to be refrigerated and can be eaten straight out of the bag.
Think I used enough avocado? Never.
Ingredients
- 2 slices of wheat bread, toasted
- 1/2 medium California hass avocado
- 5 oz can Chicken of the Sea pink salmon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- freshly ground pepper
- pinch of garlic salt
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
Directions
- In a large bowl, mash all of the ingredients together (except for the bread).
- Evenly spread the mixture in between the toasted bread. There's definitely enough to make two sandwiches, but I like a hearty meal so I ate it all in one.
