Ingredients:
2 avocados
6 baby carrots, grated
alfalfa sprouts
bean sprouts
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
4 sprigs fresh coriander
24 unsalted peanuts (approximately) or 24 unsalted cashews ( approximately)
Directions:
Halve and remove stones from 2 avocados.
Grate the carrots, combine with the alfalfa and toss with the extra virgin olive oil, then spoon this mixture into and onto each avocado half, then top with fresh sprigs of coriander and peanuts or cashews.
Serve.
Notes: If an avocado has a ‘neck’ rather than being rounded at the top, it was probably tree-ripened and will have better flavour. To ripen a firm avocado, place it in a paper bag at room temperature for a couple of days. Don’t refrigerate avocados until they are ripe. To prevent the flesh from turning brown, sprinkle with lemon juice. In Australia, there are now varieties of avocado which don’t brown after being cut, but I do wonder (I don’t know) if they have been genetically modified.
