Tropical Raw Sandwich

1. Cut off the top of the pineapple, cut off just a little bit for this recipe and plate the remaining in the fridge upside down for another time.
2. Cut the outer edge off the pineapple, and then slice out the center core because it’s too tough and fibrous to eat. Cut some nice thin strips of pineapple.
3. Cut up a little bit of red bell pepper, remove the seeds from the inside.
4. For the avocado, use half avocado and scoop out the clean yellow flesh and mash them up.

6. Slice up the red pepper into some nice, long julienne strips.
