Avocado Season
by Chedva Sternfield
Did you know that avocados were one of the foods astronauts
took along on their space flights? They are an invaluable
source of unsaturated fats and are very high in protein and
many minerals and vitamins. Avocados should never be cooked,
however.

6 small firm avocados
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 diced scallion
1 chopped red pepper
Sauce:

1 spoon oil
