Avocados are the quickest and easiest meals to prepare. My kids love it. My son eats it straight out of its skin and Taste Tester A prefers it cut up in chunks. Sous Chef D prefers her avocado with tomatoes.
I never really had avocados before I started a raw diet. And I didn't even think of the possibility of eating it by itself. I would eat guacamole, but that was once in a blue moon and only with Mexican food.
I'm so happy that I discovered for myself the joys of this smooth, creamy fruit. Yum!

Cut the avocado in half. In the shell cut avocado into slices. Place ½ avocado slices on a plate. Squeeze lemon juice over the slices. Sprinkle on ½ teaspoon flax seeds, pepper and sea salt. Garnish with a lemon wedge. Repeat with other half. Serves 2.

Diana says: I also want to mention one thing I learned from a few sources when reading about eating healthy and that is that you should grind flax seed. The outer layer is too hard for our system to break down, so to get the health benefits you should grind it.
Terilynn says: Diana is absolutely right.
