Almost every house in my mother’s neighbourhood has a fruit tree. Mangoes, peaches, bananas, avocadoes, lemons and grapes are grown in people’s backyards. I grew up in this neighbourhood and the trees having been growing bigger and bigger and everything else is smaller. There is something that happens when you move from the area that you grew up in as a child. When you go back as an adult everything is smaller than you remember it to be. Perhaps when you are smaller, everything looks big. I don’t know.
We used to have two avocado trees but had to be cut down because my mom’s neighbour used to complain so much about the trees. Usually after the fruit was gone because we shared it with them. 
These trees grow naturally, no fertilizers just water. I don’t even know if they water the trees. Avocado trees have deep roots so I am not even sure if watering them is necessary. These avocados are big and yummy. They are perfect, it almost feels like a travesty to add anything to them. Unless of course if you make this avocado and egg salad.
I used a yoghurt and sour cream dressing with a hint of lime. I feel like this salad is a perfect meal by itself. I made sandwiches with it.
