Ohmergerh, a new fave snack has emerged!

After a rousing morning of wandering through the outlet mall in search of The Perfect Running Shoe (to no avail, alas), I worked up quite a hunger. This was further enhanced by another 40 minutes spent at the grocery store wandering up and down aisles to see what they had and how prices compared to other places. By the time we got back home, I was ravenous! As I put groceries away, I also eyeballed my available options and came up with the following:

A. B. P. T. Salad
(Avocado Basil Pecan and Tomato Salad)

2 small avocados
3 basil leaves
1 roma tomato (or 1/2 if it is large)
A sprinkling of pecans
Salt and Pepper
A dash of balsamic vinegar

To make: Scoop avocados into a small bowl. Chop basil and sprinkle over the top. Mash together vigorously. Dice up tomato, (I prefer larger chunks) and add to bowl. Crush up pecans and add them too. Salt and pepper, pour your balsamic over the top and stir it all together. Et voila! A tasty snack.

Now that I am done, however, it would be INFINITELY better with some cubed up or shredded chicken. Possibly a bit of fresh garlic or a teensy bit of onion if that's more to your taste. And then wrapped in a lettuce wrap. OMG.

Yeah I could totally eat another helping.
