I scaled this back to use 1 avocado and it was a delicious lunch for the DM and myself. I added some finely sliced spring onion and only used about 1/2 tablespoon mayonnaise and we both thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you gailanng, made for Everyday A Holiday.

This was scaled back to 1 avocado and made for a delicious lunch for 2. I added in green onion and only a small amount of the mayo. This was served on a bed of spring mix with fresh sliced tomatoes on the side. Made for ZWT7.

with 2 different caloric counts, &28% Saturated fat, this is a definate no no for most of us
Where is the Sat fat coming from? Lots of other "Unexplained fats" too. Avocado has fats, but this is more than that. I was very surprised. Yummy, but only once in blue moon.
