Un apéritif à l’avocat
Serves 2
We recently had the pleasure of meeting Rachel Shemenski of Florida MicroGreens who introduced us to micro onions. Free of pesticides, additives and with no added nutrients, micro greens and micro onions are grown indoors, in hemp. As a healthy alternative to traditionally grown onions, these delicious sprouts pack a wonderfully tempered flavor that blend perfectly with avocados in season.
INGREDIENTS
2 ripened Hass avocados
olive oil
freshly squeezed juice from 1/2 lemon or lime
salt and pepper to taste
a few sprigs of fresh basil, cilantro and parsley, finely chopped
sprigs of micro onions to garnish
slices of homemade French boule bread
