I am a HUGE fan of avocado’s and anytime I can eat them alone or in a recipe I will.  The little green piece of heaven is wonderful with lemon and salt, made into guacamole, or even as part of an entree.  I came across the recipe below on Avocado.org and it’s one that even my picky kids like (or maybe it’s because they don’t know the avocado is good for you shhhh let’s don’t tell them).

Angel Hair Pasta with Avocado and Salmon

• 1 ripe, Fresh California Avocado, peeled, seeded and diced
• 2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice, or more to taste
• 1 lb. salmon, cooked, skinned, boned and cut into bite-sized pieces
• ? cup black olives, sliced
• 4 oz. cauliflower florets, steamed
• 3 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh dill
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Of course me being italian I am always looking for an excuse to eat past and what better way to have it than with a yummy avocado and tasty salmon.  Try this tonight and see what you are missing. When I cooked it I realized what I was LOL.  Happy Cooking!
