Spinach, Guac, & Cucumber Boats!

It all started this morning with three of my favorite foods.

I began making my favorite guacamole as I usually do.. Then decided I was lacking some spinach in my diet the past couple of days. I pulled out my tub-o-spinach (yes, the plastic containers really do keep it fresher longer! But with how quickly I go thru spinach, it really doesn't matter. I just buy whatever is cheapest and freshest.) I thought about making a salad and tossing in my guac.. Eh, been there, done that. I pulled out a cuke and started playing. ..with my food!

You will need:

• Baby Spinach Leaves a bag or tub depending on quantity desired
• My Favorite Guacamole (see recipe here)
• Cucumber washed, sliced, halved

The picture is pretty self-explanatory.

1. Take some baby spinach leaves
2. Fork a dab of My Favorite Guacamole on the leaf.
3. Add cucumber half.
4. Top with more guac if desired. (;
5. Arrange on plate or platter if serving a group.
6. Sprinkle with sea salt & lime (optional).
7. Enjoy!!! (÷

Et voila! Here you have my Spinach, Guac, & Cucumber Boats! (Be warned they may not float...but your poop probably will!)

My favorite Guacamole!!!

Super simple recipe. See below for that! (; First, I'd like to talk a bit about how much I love avocados.
If I could marry an avocado, I would. And I would eat him everyday. But of course I'd save his seed to plant and regrow another. ...hmm, I'd better start ahead of time, I think they take a while to sprout.
Avocados aren't just delicious, they're good for you too! Avocados! Yadda yadda...
Avocados make great beauty products too..face masks etc.

Recipe:

• 1 Avocado
• 1/2 Lime
• Sea Salt to taste

1. Mash avocado as much as preferable to your palate. 
2. Squeeze as much lime and salt as you'd like. 
3. Enjoy with chips, or fresh veggies, or the experienced avocado connoisseur will enjoy this delicacy with a fork! (=

UPDATE!: I have actually started an avocado sprout! I will be posting photos as he continues the growth process. =D

Since guacamole is one of my specialties, I might make a video in the future!

Updated Update:: (7/28/12) My seed has not sprouted. It cracked open, but nothing came out. hehe =( Also, I really have no soil or sunny area where I could plant it at this point in time. I will try again in the future.
