Avocado Everything

05/29/14 | Delicious Eats

Avocado seems to be everywhere these days, from the corner markets to the menus of five star restaurants. Since I started eating the fruit two years ago, I have started ordering salads with avocado all the time. Some NYC hotspots even serve them plain; you just use a spoon to eat them out straight out of their skins!

At home, one of my favorite dishes to make is a caprese salad with avocado – tomato, basil, and fresh buffalo mozzarella all go together perfectly. Besides my preferred ways of eating avocados, they can also be used in a variety of dishes, such as:

The only real downside?  They are 234-240 calories per cup and 77% of that is fat. Yes, good fat, but still fat…  Definitely not a diet food.   That said, I would like to try each and every one of these dishes.  Please and thank you.

    I love avocado. I’ll eat them plain sometimes with a bit of salt.
