Welcome to Foodie Friday! I’m linking up with Annmarie from the Fit Foodie Mama, Esther from Chocolate Runner Girl + Jess from Hello To Fit to create awesome healthy recipes each week! This week’s theme = Kitchen Cleanse!
Let’s be real here–avocados are some of my favorite things on the planet. I’d have a forest of em’ if I could…but alas. :O That will likely have to wait for a bit!
Back when I was home, my friends and I gathered to make a whole bunch of food and one of our grand plans was for stuffed avocado!
We kinda went to town with the different fillings, but that’s the beauty of this recipe–you can throw in whatever the hecks your heart desires! You can also take this chance to use up other things you’ve made in the past–for instance, the fruit salsa from the White Balsamic Chicken with Fruit Salsa recipe!
Sky’s the limit with this one, and it’s pretty hard to go wrong with avocado! I’ve included the recipe for the chicken salad below, as well as a breakdown of the ingredients for the other fillings we used! :]
Stuffed Avocado
Ingredients:
- Avocados, halved
(Chipotle Chicken Salad)
- Homemade mayo (1 egg yolk, ~1 cup avocado oil, salt, pepper, lime juice, 1 tsp dijon mustard, 2 tsp chipotle pepper powder, 1 tsp cumin)

(Fruit Salsa)
- Make the salsa from the White Balsamic Chicken with Fruit Salsa recipe!
(Other Fillings)

- Serve!

I want more! *-* I wish avocados weren’t so expensive over here!
I’m a huge avocado fan, and even though I do stuff it from time to time (for example with shrimp), my favorite ways to eat avocado are the following:
As a side along with cheese enchiladas (not necessarily guacamole, I’m fine just with diced avocado)
As a salad with sweet corn and cherry tomatoes
Author
Ahhh, both of those sound so good! I need to go get more avocados! *-*
Farrah, I love this recipe and everything in that eating plan is on my eating plan for Phase 3. I know what lunch is for Friday now. Thanks.

Avocados are definitely some of my favorite things ever–I hope you like this! <3!!
I’d eat all of these. Maybe even in one sitting. Avocados are basically addicting and I need to find a better source of them–the ones we buy at our local wet market are nearly always very bruised. So sad! :(

Aww, that’s definitely depressing. We have some here but I haven’t been able to convince myself to buy em’ because they’re so darn expensive! x_x
