Those who know me are used to the fact that I don’t eat red meat. Occasionally I’ll eat white meat chicken, but I’m more of a fish and vegetable person. I prefer vegetarian meals above all else. Below is one of my favorite lunches.

Don’t let the fat count scare you. 85% of the fat in this meal is from the avocado. Avocados contain monosaturated fat, which lowers LDL cholesterol. Of course, all fat should be consumed in moderation.

NOTE: Avocados and onions are HIGHLY TOXIC to animals. Please do not feed any leftovers to your pets.
