FOR THE LOVE OF AVOCADO by Peace, Love and Low Carb
I am honored to have Kyndra Holley from Peace, Love and Low Carb do a guest blog post for all of you today! Kyndra has prepared 2 recipes for you! Avocado Hummus and Chicken Club Avocado Boats! Yum!
From Kyndra: Hummus has been one of my favorite foods since the first time I tasted it. I could easily take down a whole dish of it single-handedly. My days of eating garbanzo beans in abundance are long over. Therefore, I created this healthier low-carb, paleo version so that when I eat a whole dish of it, I won?t feel nearly as guilty. This is a great dip to accompany a vegetable platter. My husband also likes to use it as a dressing on his salads.
INGREDIENTS
1 Large Zucchini ? Peeled and Cubed
1 Medium Avocado ? Peeled, Pitted and Cubed
½ Lemon - Juiced
¼ Cup Creamy Roasted Tahini with Sea Salt
3 Large Cloves Garlic - Minced
1 Tbs. Olive Oil
1 tsp. Cumin
1 tsp. Sea Salt
(2 Tbs. Peace and Love)
DIRECTIONS In a food processor, combine zucchini, avocado, lemon juice, tahini, garlic, olive oil, cumin and sea salt. Pulse until smooth and creamy. Refrigerate at least one hour prior to serving.

CHICKEN CLUB AVOCADO BOATS
TIP - Cook the chicken in any manner you desire. I like to cut the chicken breasts into tender sized pieces and pan-sear them in grass-fed butter. It makes for a slightly crispy outside and an extremely juicy inside. If you do not eat mayonnaise, you can replace it in this recipe with plain Greek yogurt.
INGREDIENTS
1 lb. Boneless skinless chicken breast - Cooked and Cubed
2 Avocados ? Halved, Pitted and Cubed
2 Tbs. Minced Garlic ? Divided
2 Tbs. Lime Juice
5 Strips Bacon - Cooked Crisp, and Crumbled
¼ Cup Red Onion - Chopped
8 Grape Tomatoes - Halved
4 Tbs. of Mayonnaise Salt and Pepper ? To Taste
(2 Tbs. Peace and Love)
DIRECTIONS Trim excess fat from chicken, cook and cube. Halve the avocados, remove pits and scoop avocado from shells. Set shells aside as you will be using them later. In a medium mixing bowl, combine three of the avocado halves, 1 Tbs. garlic, lime juice, and a dash of salt and pepper. Fork mash until ingredients are well incorporated. For the chicken salad ? Cut remaining avocado into chunks. In a large mixing bowl combine avocado, chicken, bacon, red onions, tomatoes, mayo, 1 Tbs. garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until completely mixed Divide the mashed avocado mixture among the 4 avocado shells, top each one with a heaping mound of the chicken salad.
