This sounds great!!! I love avocados. I will be having this one tomorrow!!! Thank you for sharing this recipe!!! Tina!!!
Recipe sounds great but it is important for individuals to check with their pharmacist to find out if grapefruit would cause an interaction with any of their medications. I recently discovered I cannot eat or drink grapefruit because it causes some of my medications to be ineffective.
We need more recipes on here that are both Low Cholesterol and Low Sodium. I am happy to see this one. Many people who take certain types of meds can't eat the grapefruit but I'd skip the certain pill I take for just a day to try this one. The cumin in this recipe is going to send the flavor over the top.
Remember, if you are on colestorel meds, you should not be eating grapefruit. :)(It could intensify the potency of the medication)
