Speaking of avocados, found this recipe which I thought you might like?

Bacon and avocado salad

1. Fry the bacon until crisp and set aside. Mix the salad greens with the avocado slices and olives. Sprinkle with vinegar and the bacon. Serve.

Looks like a dark green mango, it's about the size of pear and is very tasty and very good for you xx.

Thanks for that recipe. I had never tasted an avocado before stef but now addicted. Really tastey.
Guacamole is made with advocado - think I've spelt it wrong lol x

 

[ladyfelsham]

LOL you've popped an extra "d" in there KD - but it's all the better for it

Just watch your avocado intake on induction - I think you're allowed 1/2 a small one a day? But as Busy says, they are uber good for you!

 

[kdl85]

Just as well you said that. I had a full one yesterday. Oops.xxx

This is an avocado

 

[ladyfelsham]

Don't worry, I'm sure it won't make much difference

Here's the extras list from the Atkins book I have -

Special Category Foods
To add variety, each day you can also eat 10 to 20 olives, half a small avocado, an ounce of sour cream or three ounces of unsweetened heavy cream, as well as two to three tablespoons of lemon juice or lime juice. But be aware that these foods occasionally slow down weight loss in some people, and may need to be avoided in the first two weeks. If you seem to be losing slowly, moderate your intake of these foods.

I need to get some olives. I'm not keen on black olives but love green ones does it matter which ones? X

 

[ladyfelsham]

No, don't think so

 

[kdl85]

Honestly I'm no cook. I just chucked it all in a bowl and mixed together. Chucked it in the oven and hoped for the best.. x
