Avocado Boats Avocado

If you are transitioning to the raw food diet, avocado is likely a staple in your diet. You can prepare this simple, yet delicious and beautiful dish for any crowd, composed of raw foodists or otherwise.

Ingredients:
4 avocados
2 yellow bell peppers
1 orange/red bell pepper
3-4 medium tomatoes
3 green onions
1 bunch of fresh dill
3 tablespoons sunflower oil, optional
Sea salt to taste, optional

Cut the avocado in half, lengthwise (see picture). With a spoon, scoop out the avocado pulp. Do not discard the resulting 2 “boats” from each avocado. Chop the avocado pulp, bell peppers and tomatoes. Finely dice the green onions and dill. Stir everything together with the oil and add sea salt if needed. Using a spoon fill each “boat” and place on a serving plate. Enjoy!
