What is this?
While we are celebrating summer here on Platter Talk with all the sangria, salads, and delicious pies, we can't lose sight of grilling out!
We have several avocado recipes on Platter Talk and truthfully, we can't get enough of this versatile power food.
We are all hearing the importance of "going green," concerning the environment. We're all for that, and preserving our planet is a priority that we firmly believe should be on the minds of all.
Lemon Caper Portabella Buttons are the perfect light and summery appetizer to accompany this grilled chicken Be sure to this a taste, you're going to love it.
We took the whole going green concept and carried it over into another arena: our kitchen.
You already know this recipe is chock-full of creamy, green avocado. Let's not forget the green goodness found in limes.
They're at their peak right now, and we know of nothing that goes better with lime than some freshly chopped leaves of cilantro.
The beauty of this dish is that it's fast to put together and quite simple to construct.

Continuing with the green motif, we served this with some fresh cucumber shavings, dressed on the side with a little creamy dill vinaigrette.
The result of all this: Something we like to classify as Double D (DD) or, darn delicious. I hope you won't take our word for it or our photos.
Instead, try this one for yourself and let us know what you think. Long live summer, and get your green on with this meal from the grill.
