The Viceroy South Beach Poolside Lunch
A Creamy Avocado Sandwich
Posted April 21st, 2010 by noelle | View Comments
Nibble on this energizing and bikini friendly lunch inspired by a recent visit of mine to The Viceroy Hotel in South Beach. It’s so good, I would happily enjoy this meal for dinner too!
I would suggest enjoying this avocado sandwich open-faced with one half to one full avocado. Drizzled with a good olive oil, and a dash of crushed red pepper flakes these toasts are as satisfying as they are delicious! These toasts would also be delicious with a slice or two of jalapeno pepper and some simple sprouts on top. Tomato slices would also be tremendous.
Don’t fear avocados ladies. While they are higher in calories, they are one of nature’s most perfect foods. The body knows how to fully recognize, utilize and eliminate them. So no body “waste” is created from avocados. “Waste” (from poor eating, artificial fillers and preservatives) = excess weight on that beautiful frame of yours. Try and rack up a few more salads and vegetables and fruits in your day, and then an avocado here and there won’t be so much of a concern. After all, when you eat more foods from nature, you give the body more of the nutrients it needs, and it starts to run more efficiently.
“Avocado Toasts” with Leafy Green Salad
Serving Size: 1
Ingredients
For the “Avocado Toasts”
2 pieces of sprouted grain bread (well toasted)
½ – 1 whole avocado, scooped out; seed and peel removed
1 tablespoon good olive oil
salt, pepper for taste
crushed red pepper flakes, optional
For the Leafy Green Salad
2 cups baby spinach
1 tablespoon shaved Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon good olive oil
Directions
Take the avocado and spread it generously on the sprouted grain bread. Top it with olive oil, a touch of salt, pepper and crushed red pepper flakes.
Next, place the baby spinach on plate with the avocado toasts, sprinkle the leaves with a drizzle of olive oil and Parmesan cheese. Enjoy this dish poolside!
Notes
If you have any left over spinach leaves finish them off this week in a classic green smoothie, or in a creamy green avocado smoothie for breakfast. There’s nothing like a green smoothie for breakfast to build an energizing start to your day.
