cheater panzanella

Ok, I was just scrolling through my pictures for my previous post and realize I had another quick thing to throw at ya that requires very little effort to write up OR prepare. WINNER WINNER chicken dinnerrrr.

I usually go home at lunch, for a multitude of reasons: my demon puppy usually needs to be let out, the dining option in downtown Houston as surprisingly awful, plus I am pretty convinced that the fluorescent lights in my office are going to give me a seizure someday, so the less time spent under them, the better.

By the time I drive home and back, that’s 20 minutes out of my 1 hour lunch break. Then there’s the necessary dog caring, etc., and you start to run out of time to prepare yourself a meal real quick. This solves that problem and is fresh and healthy. I call it: cheater panzanella! (real panzanella is more onion focused and has vinegar and other stuff)

Ok, you will need:

- 1 small avocado
- 1 small-medium tomato
- 2 smallish pieces of your favorite wheat bread (I got this great honey wheat bread from HEB, the seedilicious bread from Whole Foods would work well, too)

Alright, dice your avocado. Put in a bowl. Cut your tomato in half, remove seeds, dice, put in bowl. Toast the bread. Cut into squares. Put in bowl. Add salt, 1-2 tbsp of GOOD olive oil, and basil is nice, too. Toss to combine. ENJOY!!!!
