A few months back my sister suggested that i try substituting avocado for mayo.Mayo is yummy but if you can find something that is even yummy-er and not as fattening,then why not? Mind you that mayo is made out of oil, egg yolk and vinegar. Avocado on the other hand is a natural antioxidant and rich with vitamin E and vitamin B6,folate, vitamin A in the form of beta carotene and beta-cryptoxanthin.(okay,i copied some of the names from the net and i can't even pronounce it). All i'm saying is that your sandwiches can taste wayyyy better and healthier.Plus,you can save a lot for not buying mayo too!(it works for me because i only have sandwich once in awhile).Say no to Mayo.Oh wait,not mayo.Say no to Fat!
So here goes
Avocado Spread
Black Pepper
Lemon/lime juice
Cut the avocados in halves and spoon it out in a bowl.
You can cut them in smaller pieces if the avocados are too hard.
Use a fork or potato masher and mash them until they're soft and all gooey.(if you have a hand blender,it'll do you wonders and save all the hassle and mess)
Add a dash of black pepper and about a spoon of lemon juice for each avocado used.(Not too much though)
Yup!Thats it!
I think adding some paprika or cayenne pepper would make it smokier.You can add some all-italian spices too if you like.(although i don't think it'll taste good)
anyhoos,like normal mayos,you can flavor it the way you like it!
Usually i'll spread some of these avocado yummyness on sliced baguette, put small pieces of crabstick and cheese on top and put them in the oven.*ULTIMATE YUMMYNESS*
today however,i tried eating them with chicken breast.It doesn't taste as good.Perhaps because chicken tastes like..well..chicken..Less exotic.Or maybe because i didn't put any cheese in it(I'm trying to cut the fat remember?) Never mind..Will try to make it yummy-er next time.
Plus,my handphone is covered with avocado.I think my phone hates me now.It works slower than usual.Or maybe it is because it is always in the kitchen.Phones don't belong in the kitchen.
Yummy Tummy.
Till then,Salut
Love
