Stuffed Avocado



I am trying to get myself back in the workout saddle and wanted something healthy dinner. I looked in my fridge and saw I had a bunch of avocados, tomato and some spinach that really needed to be eaten. At first I was going to make a salad but after playing with a bunch of different ideas this is where I landed.  Light, very tasty and pretty good for my body, a win for the day I would say. 

recipe (severs 4) :

2 avocados
7-10  cherry tomato 
1 cup spinach 
1/4 cup greek yogurt 
1 egg 
cooked cod 
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp paprika 
1/2 tsp garlic powder 
1/2 tsp onion powder 
salt and pepper to taste 

the sauce : 

4 tbsp greek yogurt 
riracha to taste ( I like spicy food so I added about 1 1/2 tbsps)
1/2 tsp garlic powder 
1/2 paprika 
and I added water until it was the thickness I wanted

I cut the avocados in half and scooped out most of the insides. I lightly smashed up the avocado and added all the ingredients together. Then I filled up the avocado skin  and stuck them in the over at 375 for about 25 mins.

The sauce I put all the sauce ingredients in a bowl and whisked them together, I added water to thin the sauce out a little. Not much, like a teaspoon, if that. When the avocados came out of the oven I drizzled the sauce on and served. They we wonderful.
