Stuffed Squash Blossoms (raw)

Ingredients

• 6-8 squash blossoms
• 1/4 cup walnuts
• 1/2 avocado
• 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/4 cup water herbs of your choice (cilantro, rosemary, basil, etc.)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 small onion or shallot, finely chopped

Directions

In a blender, puree the walnuts, avocado, lemon juice, water, herbs, salt and pepper and puree until smooth. Add more water if necessary: you want the mix to be soft enough to spoon into the blossoms, but it must not be runny.

Place the mix into a bowl and mix in the chopped onions.

Gently stuff each blossom with a tablespoon or so of the mix.
