Grilled Avocado (with salsa)


Ingredients:
Avocado
Lime juice
Olive oil
Salt



Directions:
Cut the avocado in half, remove the seed, and brush it with some lime juice and olive oil.  Place it flesh-side down on a medium-high grill for about 5 to 7 minutes.

Remove it from the grill and sprinkle with a little lime juice and salt.  To take it a step further, fill the hole with your favorite salsa (see recipe below) and top that with a little sour cream. 

Sprinkle the salsa with some chopped cilantro, a good sprinkling of kosher salt, and another drizzle of lime juice if desired.
