When scooping out the avocado, use a paring knife and score a line outside where the pit used to be and remove the very middle. Leave some around the edges so you can get avocado in every bite when you eat this tasty dish.

Just in time, I was searching for a great meal to bring with me out to the beach – overlooking the sunset – to bring that of a very special female. And this is a great addition, this would go great with my Lemon Rice with Lemon Wine Sauce.
This looks so yummy and is a combination I would have never thought of. Definitely have to give it a try.
