Recipe:

Quarter 6 firm avocados; season with salt and pepper and brush with grapeseed oil. Grill over medium-high heat, turning, until grill marks appear, about 3 minutes.

In a blender, combine 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/4 cup fresh parsley, 3 cloves garlic (peeled and quartered), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Blend. With the blender running, add 6 tablespoons olive oil and blend until smooth.

Drizzle the dressing over the avocado and sprinkle with additional parsley.
