Avocado Sandwich Spread
We could all use more healthful monounsaturated fats in our diet and the best way to include them is to substitute them for less healthy fats, such as the fat found in mayonnaise. This spread doesn’t taste like mayo, but it is a delicious addition to many sandwiches. You can also spread it on a bun and enjoy it with a lean burger or veggie burger. My favorite combination is an open-faced sandwich of thinly sliced prosciutto with a little mozzarella cheese, tomato and avocado spread on a slice of La Brea Bakery’s whole-grain bread.

INGREDIENTS:
1 very ripe organic avocado
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon Fage TOTAL 0% yogurt
-
DIRECTIONS:
– Cut avocado around the pit along the seam. Twist halves apart. Use a spoon to scoop out the pit. Make several cuts in a grid pattern down to the skin without cutting through the skin. Use the spoon to scoop the avocado chunks into a shallow bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until smooth. Stir in lime juice, salt and cayenne.
– Tilt the opened yogurt container so that any water flows to one side. Measure out one tablespoon of yogurt from the dry side of the container. Stir it into the avocado. Cover tightly with plastic wrap until ready to use.
