There are few things as versatile as avocados! Not only are they creamy and tasty, they are chock-full of health benefits (a win-win if you ask us)! So whether you want to feature them as the main ingredient or use them in a more subtle way, these five recipes all include the beloved fruit that acts like a vegetable!
Avocado Smoothie
Dairy-free, incredibly smooth, and instantly refreshing, this smoothie from Love & Lemons is the perfect way to start any day! Made with banana, pineapple, spinach, coconut milk, and, of course, avocado, this treat will make your friends green with envy. Good thing this recipe yields up to three servings!
Taco-Stuffed Avocados
The Recipe Critic has revamped an ordinary Taco Tuesday into an extraordinarily flavorful option. Grab all your favorite toppings and ingredients, but don’t worry about picking up tortillas this time. Instead, halve a handful of ripe avocados and prepare for a twist so good, you might crave this new kind of “shell” from now on!
Avocado and Egg Salad Toasts
Step up your avocado toast game with this punched-up recipe from Kitchn! The chopped egg provides lots of protein, the avocado is smooth and creamy, and the fresh toppings of basil, scallions, garlic, and lime juice give this open-faced sandwich some much-appreciated tang. Pro tip: Use a chewy, rustic loaf for a more substantial bite.
Spicy Lime and Avocado Soup
This vibrant and flavorful soup from Allrecipes is the perfect transitional food from summer to fall. The sour lime, zesty cilantro, and spicy jalapeño are all contrasted with the creamy avocado chunks, creating a lunch or dinner masterpiece! Need to cool things down? Try adding a dollop of sour cream or crème fraîche on top.
Guacamole Salad
We couldn’t feature avocados without including guacamole, now could we? But this Simply Delicious recipe turns everyone’s favorite dip into a deliciously chunky salad—much more socially acceptable as a meal! Featuring ripe avocados, juicy tomatoes, sharp onion, earthy cilantro, and citrusy lime juice, this salad is everything we love about guacamole, just served with a fork!
