As a defiant response to Sad Desk Lunches, the Food52 team works to keep our midday meals both interesting and pretty -- even if they're eaten while our eyes are on the screen. Each week, we'll be sharing our happiest desk lunches -- and we want to see yours, too.
Today, Marian finally gets to talk about her favorite food.
Marian says:
Avocado toast might be the perfect food. It's got the crunch of toast against the buttery smooth avocado, the bite of flaky salt if you're smart. It's the perfect breakfast (add a hard-cooked egg if you need some protein, why don't you). And it's the perfect lunch to throw together at work when you only have five minutes. Just toast, slice, and sprinkle. Before eating, I mash up the avocado -- it's better that way, albeit less pretty.
Join us in our campaign to end sad desk lunches by sharing your photos on Instagram and Twitter with the #NotSadDeskLunch hashtag! We'll be regramming and retweeting our favorites.

Keep in mind that those watching their weight should limit themselves to half an avocado though because of the high fat. Avocados are supposed to be "healthy" fat but fat is still fat.
Traditional Argentine Pan con Palta or Paltapan, on which I was raised, is served with a drizzle of good olive oil and the crusts removed (me, I like it on crusty bread - but the EVOO takes it to a whole new level. Eat it several times a week.)
