Avocado Slicer Review

 If you have an Instagram account, you are probably well aware that avocados are the new rage. It's almost impossible to swipe through a feed without seeing at least one picture of avocado on toast.
It all looks so pretty and perfect, that I wondered if I could also create the same thin-cut avocado slices.

 In today's post I will review the Trudeau Avocado Slicer. I purchased this slicer recently and wondered if it would be able to create beautiful thin slices, worthy of an Instagram picture?

In the video below I review this product for the first time. Does it really work? Check out the video  and enjoy!

Tex-Mex Salad

 Add some Mexican flavour to your lunch or dinner tonight with this delicious salad recipe!

Ingredients

1. 1/4 a head of green leaf or romaine lettuce
2. One tomato  
3. 1/2 cup of black beans
4. 1/2 cup of corn
5. One avocado 
6. 1/3 cup of shredded cheddar cheese 
7. Two Cilantro stalks 

Preparation 

1. Thoroughly rinse salad leafs in cool water to ensure all dirt has been removed. Dry the salad leafs and break them into small pieces to make the salad.
2. Take one large tomato and dice. Then take the diced tomatoes and place them into the salad with a spoon, allowing them to cover 1/4 of the salad.
3. Then take 1/2 cup of cooked corn and place into salad with a spoon covering 1/4 of the salad. 
4. Take the black beans in a can and rinse them out before you use them in the salad. Use 1/2 cup of black beans and place them into the salad covering another 1/4 of the salad.
5. For the final part of the salad, take one whole avocado and slice them straight down and place them onto the portion of the salad. The salad is now complete. 
6. Top with some shredded cheddar cheese.  Note: You can use as much cheese as you would like for this recipe. 
7. Take two pieces of cilantro and chop them into pieces and use them to garnish the salad and add some extra flavour.
