Happy October friends! Fall is here, but so are the remnants of summer, including all of that beautiful produce the last few months gave us which we are grateful for but maybe a little tired of eating. Here is a great, end of summer breakfast idea to help add some creativity and variety back into your day and your meals.

Smoked Salmon Zucchini Boats

Servings and measurements vary 

(one whole zucchini equals one serving)

Ingredients:

Zucchini

Olive Oil

Avocado

Lime Juice

Garlic

Chili Powder

Dried Onion or Onion Powder

Pepper

Smoked Salmon Lox

Spinach

1. Cut Zucchini in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Slice a thin layer off the bottom so the zucchini lays flat on a plate. Rub zucchini with a little olive oil.

2. Mash the avocado with lime juice, garlic, chili powder and dried onion or onion powder to taste. (For a little spice you can add a pinch of cayenne or red pepper flakes)

3. In a medium skillet over medium heat, brown the zucchini (about 3-5 minutes on each side). You can also broil them in the oven for a few minutes until they begin to slightly char.

4. Remove zucchini from heat. Fill with avocado mix and top with smoked salmon locks. Grind some fresh pepper over the top and serve on a bed of fresh spinach.

This fun breakfast is quick and easy to make, yet beautiful, creative and delicious. Yummy warm or cold, these little zucchini boats are a perfect way to begin a trip. Be sure to make extras to take along on your travels.

As always,

Here's to Life, Love, Health and Happiness! Cheers!
