Roasted Avocado over Couscous

I found this recipe on the Examiner. I made it and it was absolutely yummy. Good fats, good grains, and good for you. What more could you ask for? I had no idea you could roast avocado. Here are the details. Courtesy of: http://www.examiner.com/article/roasted-avocado-over-couscous-salad

Ingredients
2 avocados
1/2 cup couscous
1/4 small red onion, peeled and diced
1 tbsp. lemon juice
2 handfuls mixed greens
½ cup water
Salt and pepper
Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400ยบ. Cut avocado into quarters and take the pit out. Peel the quarters and discard the skin. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for 15 minutes. While the avocado is in the oven, prepare your salad. Bring the water to a boil and add in the couscous and onion. Add some more salt and pepper and about ½ tsp. olive oil. Once couscous has cooked, remove from heat and cover. Mix the lemon juice with another tablespoon of olive oil and a bit more salt and pepper to make the salad dressing. Once your avocado is finished in the oven, fluff the couscous with a whisk, toss the greens in the salad dressing, and mix the coated greens with the couscous. Top with your roasted avocados and enjoy!
Take good care of yourself!
