Marinated Avocado

1/3 c. olive oil

1/4 c. fresh lemon juice

1/4 c. white wine vinegar

2 T. honey

1/8 to 1/4 t. crushed red pepper (optional)

1/4 t. salt

dash of black pepper

2 small, ripe, firm avocados, halved, seeded, peeled, and sliced

3 sprigs fresh oregano

In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, honey, red pepper, salt, and black pepper.

Place avocado pieces into a pint jar. Pour marinade over the top; add oregano sprigs. Cover and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Store in refrigerator for up to 2 days.

These will be the star of your charcuterie board, or spoon onto salmon, or into a hearty grain bowl.
