mini pitas...

During a recent shopping trip to Trader Joe's I discovered these cute mini whole wheat pita breads. I stuck them in the freezer until I decided what to do with them. I had bookmarked this Martha Stewart recipe for egg and avocado salad sandwiches a while back and I had an overripe avocado to use up so it was a good day to try a small version of it. It was also a good day to get out some toys. First the egg slicer from Pampered Chef...
rotate the egg after the first slice to get...
this small dice.
Next up was my newest toy, an avocado slicer...
just use it as a scoop and it shells and slices the avocado in one motion.
I only have two hands so slicing and taking photos didn't work very well, a blurry shot above and crooked slices - usually I have perfect slices when finished.
A few swipes with a knife and the slices became dices sprinkled with a teaspoon of lemon juice and salt & pepper.
Mixed it all together with light mayo, dijon mustard and lots more pepper and I had...
lunch for one, Mini whole wheat pitas with avocado and egg salad and Lindt white chocolate truffles for dessert :)

Since Martha's recipe made a big batch I used two eggs, 1/2 avocado, 1 tsp lemon juice and guessed on the mayo & dijon to make the right consistency. I didn't read the recipe very well other than to see the list of ingredients since I wasn't making a whole batch. Looking back, I know I had over a teaspoon dijon in just my small serving so it was a little heavy on the mustard. I will definitely make this again but go a little lighter with the dijon...who knew eggs & avocado...a great combination or has Martha says..."a Good Thing".
