Avocado Salad Amazing
Save the best for last.
Avocados can brown when exposed to the air, so let them be the last ingredient you add before serving to help keep them green for your presentation. Learn more about avocado storage.
Sliced thinly or chopped?
Chopped/diced pieces work best in chunkier salads that include a lot of various textures, while avocado slices add flair to mainly leafy green salads. Get tips on how to cut avocados. Avocados can be used in your favorite creamy dressing recipes to not only make them smoother but also, they can be used as part of a reduced-calorie diet in place of other saturated fats.
Avocados add more
“wow” to any dish.
Another great way to incorporate avocados in salads is to add them to pasta salads! When preparing salads for meals or as a vegetarian option at a dinner party, avocados can make pasta salad more substantial. Their rich texture moistens quinoa or bow tie pasta salads as well as adds good fats and nutrients to help make you feel satisfied but not guilty.
Use avocados to make your salad more engaging.
