Easy Avocado Spread

October 28, 2009 -- This easy spread made from luscious avocados, which naturally contain MUFA's (Monounsaturated Fatty Acids), is a perfect choice as part of a heart-healthy diet.

About 3/4 cup

2 ripened avocados, rinsed and dried
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon salt

1. Using a sharp knife, cut the avocados in half, working around the pit. Twist avocados to separate the halves. Spoon out the pit and scoop out the avocado flesh into a resealable plastic storage bag. Add lemon juice and salt, seal bag, and mash the avocado with your hands until mixture is combined and spreadable.

2. Cut the tip off one corner of plastic bag and pipe mixture onto French bread slices, crackers, or slices of fresh vegetables. Top with a dab of your favorite condiment, such as salsa, sun-dried tomatoes, or chopped olives.
