Grilled Avocado with Strawberry and Honey
Directions
- In a small bowl, gently stir together the strawberries and honey. Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 4 hours, stirring occasionally to let the strawberries macerate and release their natural juices.
- When the strawberries are ready, preheat the grill on medium high.
- Lightly spray each avocado with cooking spray. Place the avocados on the grill with the stem side facing 10 o’clock. Grill for 1 to 2 minutes. Rotate the avocados so that the stem side is facing 2 o’clock. Grill for 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the avocado halves to plates with the flesh side up.
- Remove the strawberry mixture from the refrigerator. Fold in the mint.
- Spoon the strawberry mixture over each avocado half and serve.
Sometimes the best inspiration to get walking is time spent with friends!
