GARLIC & LEMON AVOCADO OIL

Garlic & Lemon Avocado Oil image

Avocado oil is a wonderful medium for oil infusions because of its mild, buttery flavor. Heating helps to infuse the oil faster (and kills off bacteria that could potentially spoil the oil) and the high smoke point of avocado oil allows for heating without degrading the oil. Refrigeration extends its shelf life and is a must to keep the infusions from spoiling. Avocado oil won't harden at cooler temperatures (like olive oil or coconut oil) so it makes these delicious infusions both healthy and convenient, as well!

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 3

Ingredients

2 cups avocado oil
12 cloves garlic peeled
1 medium lemon peel only

Steps:

Combine avocado oil, garlic, and lemon peel (careful not to include the white part under the peel-it can make the oil bitter-a medium saucepan.
Heat over low heat until the oil reaches 220 degrees. Turn the heat to low and cook for 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and pour into a glass jar, transferring the garlic and lemon peel, as well.

SIMPLE AVOCADO SALAD RECIPE

Simple Avocado Salad Recipe image

Simple Avocado Salad Recipe with just three ingredients! Healthy and delicious on its own or enjoy in a wrap for a light meal.

Categories Salad

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

2.5 lbs avocados (about 7 medium)
1/2 cup green onion
2 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp salt
Ground black pepper (to taste)

Steps:

To cut avocados, cut each fruit in half and remove the pit. I abruptly stick sharp end of the knife into the pit and twist it.
Then cut each half into 2-3 strips (depends how wide), peel and slice. This way avocado slices do not turn into a mush.
In a large salad bowl, add avocados, green onion, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
Stir gently with a wooden spoon and consume within next 5-6 hours. Great on its own, on a toasted pita or in a wrap.

CREAMY AVOCADO DRESSING

Creamy Avocado Dressing image

Recipe video above. This is a dressing that uses avocado to make it creamy, rather than mayonnaise or loads of oil. It doesn't taste very avocado-ey because avocados are dense so it needs to be thinned out to make it pourable as a dressing. Rather, think of the avocado as the better-for-you means to get a creamy dressing fix!Excellent use for avocados that are a bit overripe or with brown spotty bits. Use as dressing for all your favourite salads. Particularly good salads that call for Ranch, Caesar or other mayo-rich dressings.Makes 1 1/4 cups - enough for a side salad for 6 to 8 (depending on how much you use!)
