An avocado pear sliced and filled with lemony Bartlett pear and arugula sprouts is an easy appetizer or a satisfying accompaniment to a sandwich. Busy days, it makes a nice, light lunch. Sprouted pumpkin seeds boost the protein content and add a nice 'crunch'.
You'll need: avocado, pear, lemon, olive oil, agave syrup, arugula sprouts, soaked and sprouted pumpkin seeds, dried thyme, oregano and summer savory.The Avocado: Cut the avocado in half and remove pit. An easy way to do this is to press the blade of a large knife firmly but gently into the pit, and twist. The pit will pop out cleanly. Sprinkle the halves with a little lemon juice.
The Pear Salad: In a small bowl, whisk 1 T. olive oil, and 2 t. lemon juice together until creamy. Stir in 1/2 t agave, 2 T pumpkin seeds, and 1/4 t. dried oregano, 1/4 t. dried thyme and a pinch of summer savory. Core and dice the Bartlet pear into bite size pieces, and add to lemon dressing. Mix well to coat pear. Add in 2 T. arugula sprouts. Spoon salad into avocado halves and serve.
