Wild Rose De-Tox Recipe: Avocado Relish
Posted by Corilee under Health & Food , Wild Rose D-Tox[4] Comments
I’ve been loving avocado during my detox. I’m working on an Avocado Salad Dressing recipe that I’ll including in a Volume 2 recipe book, if I get one done. It’s such a change to have a detox-friendly *creamy* salad dressing. I used too much lemon juice though so I’m going to try it again with less but hopefully still enough that the avocado in it doesn’t turn brown before it’s time. Recipe testing is hard! But lucky for me, avocado salad dressing is good 
.
I noticed a detox-friendly avocado recipe in March’s Real Simple magazine that I want to try on fish or chicken. Here it is:
Avocado Relish
Toss diced avocado and cucumber with lime juice*, chopped cilantro, and crushed red pepper; season with salt and pepper. Serve over fish, chicken or beef.
*Lime juice isn’t technically on the Wild Rose food lists, just lemon, however I have seen it in recipes in the official Wild Rose cookbook so I use it. But use lemon juice if you’re going by the book.

I’m on day 4 of the Wild Rose d-tox and so far so good. Really tired, craving bread… no sugar, just bread!! My husband is doing it with me which is nice, but in the same sense a little harder because I have to plan all his meals/snacks too. I LOVE avocados and made up some guac last night… but had nothing to put it on!! I don’t like the idea of rice cakes b/c they are so processed and quite a few nutritionist don’t recommend them at all. I see that you eat them… what are your thoughts?

It’s tough taking care of food for someone else too, I’ve been there! But good on ya’, it’s nice to have someone to commisserate with while you detox. On the rice cake front, I don’t feel badly about eating them, I find the ones that are just puffed brown rice. I’ve heard people say too, you shouldn’t be eating the butter and oil that the detox puts in the 80% list. I guess my perspective is that I trust the detox. I stick to the food lists and eat accordingly while I’m on it. When I’m off it I might make other choices, but I figure it works for me so they must know what they’re doing. And rice cakes and almond butter get me through the afternoon
But can you use guac for a veggie dip? Cukes, carrots etc. might be good with it…..thanks for the comment!

Thanks for the reply
I found rice cakes called Corn Thins. Ingredients: corn grits (42%), corn(36%), brown rice (7%), millet(4.2%), buckwheat(4.5%), sorghum(4.5%), sunflower oil, sea salt. They are really thin and crunchy. I’m very happy with these as they are wonderful with both the almond butter and guac!!!
Thanks again

Oh yum, yes i’ve found those in the past. They’re much less styrofoamy than rice cakes
