Day 5 – Mixing It Up

I know me and just like I said, I’m getting bored with simply eating unmixed food. It feels like I’m snacking all the time, or eating off of a really healthy hors d’oeuvres tray. So, I’m going to make my first dish, outside of making a salad today.

It got this recipe from an Ani Pho raw food cookbook, who is highly regarded as a top-notch, world-class raw food chef with several great books in print. This recipe is for Avocado Cups. So, here’s how we do it…

Ingredients:

• 1 Avocado
• 1/4-1/2 a Cucumber
• 1 Tomato (or you can slice up a cherry or grape tomatoes… I like them sweet and this is what I added to the recipe)
• 1-8-1/4 Red Onion (depends on if you have someone to kiss at night… added this too)
• 2 Tbsp of Chives (fresh or dried)

Topping

• 1 Tbsp of Braggs Amino Acids
• 2 Tbsp of Olive Oil
• 2 Tbsp of Apple Cider Vinegar
• 1 Tbsp of Crushed Garlic
• 1/4-1/2 Tsp Cayenne Pepper

Instructions

1. Pit and dice the avocado into squares and place into a bowl. (Don’t discard the avocado shells)
2. Shave the cucumber and dice the shaved part into squares and add to the avocados
3. Dice the tomato and onions add to the tomatoes and cucumber
4. Chop the chives up (if need be) and add to the mixture.
5. Take the mixture and spoon them into the avocado shells
6. Next, mix the last 4 ingredients in a bowl well, and pour the topping over the avocado mixture.
7. Eat up!
