Avocado Slicer
        $10.99

Have you ever tried to make uniform slices of avocado for garnish or a sandwich, only to end up with a mushy mess?  Many times I had to resort to making guacamole or avocado ranch dressing as a way to keep from wasting the avocado.  Then, I discovered a gourmet kitchen gadget called an Avocado Slicer.  It is the perfect solution for beautifully even avocado slices, without any waste.  Simply cut the avocado in half, remove the pit and glide the Avocado Slicer across. 

One of my favorite sandwiches is to spread the inside of whole wheat pita bread with ranch dressing, sprinkle in about 1 Tbs. of chopped cilantro.  Fill with sliced turkey, 3 to 4 slices of avocado, grated or sliced pepper jack cheese and sliced tomato.  Season with a little sea salt and freshly grated pepper.  Absolutely delicious!

The buttery slices add a flavorful addition to salads or soups.  My family enjoys the rich, nutty flavor of fresh avocado as an accompaniment to scrambled eggs, sandwiches, tortilla soup, chili or just about any meal.  When it comes to food preparation, the Avocado Slicer has become one of my favorite kitchen gadgets.
