Grilled Avocados


If you love avocados, you are gonna wanna marry these! It's the perfect summer side dish. So quick. So easy. So good.
Our friends, Dawn and Jon made these for us years ago, and we loved them so much, we've been makin' them ever since.
This is more like a really good idea than a recipe. In other words...you will probably only have to look at this once. These are pretty unforgettable.

Ingredients:
ripe avocados
olive oil
salt and pepper
jarred salsa
shredded sharp cheddar cheese
lime

Directions:
1. cut the avocados in half and carefully remove the pit and the peel.
2. put them on a plate and drizzle with olive oil. use your fingers to distribute the olive oil and evenly coat the avocados.
3. fresh ground sea salt and black pepper to taste

4. place them on the grill 'hole side' down first for about 3 minutes
5. turn over and fill with salsa (jarred works the best but I've used fresh too) I love to use the pineapple and peach salsa for a little sweetness.
6. top with shredded cheese and close the grill until the cheese is melted. about 3 more minutes
7. squeeze a little fresh lime over the top and serve immediately.
