AVOCADO AND LIME WITH BACON ON TOAST
Hardly qualifies as a recipe it's so simple, but its charm as a breakfast, brunch or lunch dish is in its simplicity, in the contrasting tastes and textures of the avocado, lime and bacon, and in the contrast between the coolness of the first two ingredients and the warmth of the bacon. I'm posting this recipe so that those who have never tried it can do so and to remind those - like me - who haven't made it for a while but know how delicious it is, to make it again. This version of the recipe serves the avocado and bacon on toast. Avocado and bacon is equally delicious in untoasted, really fresh crusty bread - or in whatever is your favourite bread. I came across this particular version of it today in a magazine, the April edition of "Super Food Ideas". With its combination of avocado and lime juice, this recipe echoes Mexican dishes, but without the heat!
