Favorite way to eat fresh avocados? The better question is how don’t I like to use them. Avocados have a mild, earthy flavor and unique ability to add creaminess and unctuousness to both savory and sweet recipes, while also adding fiber, unsaturated fats, antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins. Often, I will use mashed avocado and lemon juice in place of mayo for chicken or egg salad. I even like to add mashed avocado and pumpkin puree for moisture in place of oil in baked recipes. Recently, I began adding avocado to my ice cream base and it not only added creaminess but it was light and fluffy after mixing – it was divine!
