Avocado Slices with Salted Honey-Rose Glaze… the perfect Raw Breakfast, Snack, or Simple Dessert

I love rose water almost as much as I love great vanilla. Almost. And if you’re like me, and you appreciate quick & filling meals that also taste great, you’ll love this combination.
Which, by the way, you can also make with either vanilla or orange blossom water instead of the rose water! *swooning on all counts*
It’s sooooo simple, you’ll wonder why we haven’t been enjoying this type of thing for aeons already in our food culture. But… start now. This should become a classic!
This is a salted dish, which you can alter for your own tastes, if you prefer. For my part, I am currently living in the 85-95% raw zone, with at least three 32-oz blenderful of Live Green Smoothies every day, and I find I need salt to balance out all the fruit & greens. It’s a “yang vs. yin” thing which I have observed time and time again when I go high-raw.
So, salted and fat-rich dishes help very much to allow me to take the high-raw journey with comfort and satisfaction, as well as that emerging “raw glow”.

Recipe for: Avocado Slices with Salted Honey-Rose Glaze… the perfect Raw Breakfast, Snack, or Simple Dessert
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 heaping tablespoon honey or raw honey
- 1/4 teaspoon rose water (or quality vanilla or orange blossom water)
- 1/4 teaspoon quality natural salt, such as Himalayan Crystal salt
Slice the avocado in half and remove the pit, then slice each half in strips, lengthwise, and scoop them out with a large-ish spoon.
Combine the honey, rose water, and salt. Mix well, then drizzle over the avocado.
While eating, be sure to make sure all your avo bits are coated in the delicious glaze! It’s scrumptious!!!
