Avocado-Walnut Butter
Ingredients
- 3 avocados preferably organic
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon fleur de sel salt or other coarse sea salt
- 6 tablespoons walnut oil
- Toasted multi-grain baguette slices
- Optional: garnish with 2 tablespoons chopped roasted walnuts
Instructions
- Cut avocados in half and remove pit and skin.
- Place avocados in food processor. Add lemon juice, cayenne pepper and salt. Process until smooth - scraping down the sides. With motor running slowly drizzle in the walnut oil and process until smooth.
- Cover and chill for one hour.
- Garnish with 2 tablespoons chopped roasted walnuts, if desired.
- Serve with toasted multi-grain baguette slices.
Notes
To toast baguette slices: slice baguette at an angle and place pieces directly on an oven rack (it may be easier to remove the rack from the oven to do this). Bake at 425°F for 5-6 minutes until crispy. Let cool.
