Ideas for Avocados
This supercharged fruit is not only good for your skin, but also for your entire body. They are filled to the brim with vitamin B,E, and K in addition to fiber and potassium. We just love avocados! There are thousands of uses for this summery, green fruit. Here are a few of our favorites:
Grill avocados as a quick and fun side to barbecued chicken and steaks. Just cut your avocado in half, remove the seed, and brush it with lime juice and olive oil. Place it flesh-side down on your hot grill for about 5 to 7 minutes.Remove and sprinkle with lime juice and salt. Fill the seed cavity with sour cream and salsa or tuna salad and chopped mangos. These make great snacks in addition to summer sides.
Prosciutto or smoked salmon wrapped avocado wedges are another quick and easy appetizer for parities. You need 2 avocados and 16 slices of either prosciutto or smoked salmon. Seed and peel the avocados, cut them into 8 slices per fruit and wrap the slices diagonally with the meat. For the prosciutto try drizzling olive oil or balsamic vinegar on top. For the smoked salmon, garnish with lime juice and chopped cilantro or a small dollop of crème fraîche. Battered avocado fries are an unexpected side dish to go with burgers on the grill this summer! Serve them with lime sriracha mayo. Just mix together 1 cup of mayo, with lime juice and sriracha or other spicy chili sauce. (Add the Sriracha to taste depending onhow spicy you want it.) Serve along side your avocado fries and enjoy!
