I love the creaminess of avocados. Everyone loves a great bowl of guacamole, but there is so much more you can make with avocado. These 20 Easy Avocado Recipes will broaden your perspective about how to use avocado. From dips to desserts, these recipes are foolproof and use avocados in a creative way.
It’s actually a very versatile ingredient. Plus, avocado is full of nutrients that are good for you – like healthy fat. The only downside to avocados are how quick they turn. I only purchase the amount I need per recipe and try to buy them ripe. The other option is to buy them right before they are ripe and use them within a few days, after they soften.
