What to do with those avocados that are getting too soft.

For lunch the other day, I pulled out the produce drawer to find unused produce from previously planned meals. Lunch was a thrown-together last-minute salad that I only post here because of the colors. And because of the dressing.

Leftovers for lunch
Only minutes to prepare
Green is healthy, right?

Ingredients

• Asparagus that didn't get eaten the night before
• Mushrooms that you didn't need for your pizza and put back in the fridge
• Lettuce that one can never seem to finish all of before it wilts
• 1 Avocado
• 1/2 a lime
• Water
• Pepper
• Goat Cheese

1. Lightly steam the asparagus
2. Blend the avocado, lime, and a couple of tablespoons of water in a blender.
3. Chill the asparagus briefly (a few minutes in the freezer will do it)
4. Put lettuce, mushrooms and asparagus in a bowl
5. Top with the avocado dressing, pepper and goat cheese.

This would be more typical of a spring or early summer meal, but since we have scarcely had a summer, I think it is right in season.
