This came across my desk from the Fruit and Veggies - More Matters group. I have added a tweak or two to accommodate a bariatric patient.
Serves 4-6
1 ripe avocado
2 medium tomatoes
1 green onion
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
4 hard boiled eggs, shells removed
1/4 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
whole wheat baguette, sliced or whole wheat crackers
cracked black pepper
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1. Dice up the avocado, tomato, eggs, and green onion - mix in a bowl with fresh ground black pepper and olive oil. Toss in most of the basil - reserve about 1 teaspoon for garnish.
2. Toast baguette slices then spread ricotta over them (or just spread ricotta on crackers)
3. Top with the avocado mixture and sprinkle with more basil.
ENJOY!!!
