Sesame Avocado Boats

Love the Asian flavor of this salad

Ingredients

  • 2 ripe avocados cut in half and peeled*
  • 1/4 c. edamame shelled (cook according to package)
  • 2 Tbsp. yellow bell pepper finely diced
  • 2 Tbsp. finely diced cucumber leave peeling on
  • 2 radishes sliced very thin
  • 1 Tbsp. sesame oil
  • 1 Tbsp. tamari
  • 1/4 tsp. wasabi powder or 1/2 tsp. wasabi paste
  • 1/4 c. sesame seeds toasted
  • 1 sheet toasted nori crumbled
  • micro greens to garnish
  • Lime wedges
  • Lettuce leaves

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine yellow pepper, cucumber, and radish. Cook the edamame according to package directions. Rinse with cold water to cool and add to bowl.
  2. In a separate small bowl, stir together the sesame oil, Tamara, and wasabi powder. Pour sauce over vegetable mixture and set aside.
  3. Pour the sesame seeds into a shallow dish. Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit and carefully peel the avocado. Cut a thin slice off the bottom of each half so the avocado will sit flat on a plate. Run the avocado halves under cold water and drain. This will help to prevent them from turning dark. Dip the cut side of the avocados into the sesame seeds so they are totally covered with sesame seeds.
  4. Fill the avocado halves with the mixed veggies and the sauce. Crumble the nori on top. Garnish with the micro greens.I like to squeeze some fresh lime juice over the top of each or serve the lime slices and let your guest do that. You can also drizzle a little extra sesame oil over the avocados.
