Grilled Avocado with Fresh Tomato Salsa

This recipe is from "Fitness" magazine's June 2011 edition.

Makes: 4 servings
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 2 minutes

2 avocados
1 large tomato, cored and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
1 tbsp finely chopped scallion
2 tsp finely chopped jalapeno
1 tsp freshly squeezed lime juice
1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil plus additional for grilling
1/8 tsp salt plus additional to taste

  1. Halve the avocados length-wise; pit and peel. Slice a thin layer from the rounded bottom of each half so that it sits flat.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the tomato, cilantro, scallion, jalapeno, lime juice, 1 tsp oil and 1/8 tsp salt. Add salt to taste if necessary.
  3. Heat the grill to high. Brush avocado halves lightly with oil; grill 1 minute a side, until lightly charred.
  4. Place avocado halves on a platter, spoon in tomato salsa into wells. Serve immediately.
