Ingredients:

Flesh from one ripe avocado

2 ripe apricots, pits removed

Place all ingredients, but 1/2 of your apricot (sliced), into a food processor/blender, and blend until smooth and creamy.

Pour into your serving dish and adorn with your reserved apricot slices.

Allow to chill for at least 15 minutes (or if you’re super hungry, eat immediately!) Serve and enjoy!

1 pinch ground turmeric
