Recipe: Spicy strawberry avocado salsa
Sweet, spicy and savory, all in one bowl. This salsa is a fresh and interesting take on more traditional salsas, and is a wonderful way to celebrate the transition from late spring into early summer. The bright strawberries, creamy avocado and crunchy cucumber is an irresistible combination.

Avocado Fried Egg

A simple and quick breakfast idea for your next brunch. This recipe is a Californian twist on the breakfast dish, Egg in the Hole. Instead of using bread, I used a thick slice of avocado. Yum! You are going to need a mimosa or two with this one.

Get the Creamy Avocado Pesto Recipe

If you are anything like me, you can never eat too much avocado. Sliced, diced or mashed, I put the fruit in or on practically everything. Seriously, my next kitchen experiment is going to be an Avocado Creme Brulee!

That said, this was my first time putting it on pasta. I was a bit nervous at first. I didn’t want it to resemble guacamole on pasta. Luckily, it didn’t. It was creamy and full of flavor.
