If you’re looking for another way to prepare avocados — and who isn’t? — turn on your backyard grill and set the ripe green fruits directly on the hot surface. These grilled avocado halves make a healthy, plant-based meal on their own — here each person is served two avocado halves — or set alongside your favorite grilled fish or meat. Just two to three minutes over the coals imparts a delicious smoky flavor. A chickpea salad, with bright citrus juices and lots of cilantro, comes together quickly. The acids in the mixture contrast brilliantly with the creamy avocado.
