Avocados: Beyond the Toast!

By  Charlene Bazarian

Avocados are having their time in the spotlight!  It is no wonder, as this super fruit is a nutritional powerhouse packed with vitamins and is also an excellent source of heart-healthy monounsaturated fatty acids.   They boast more potassium than bananas, are full of antioxidants, and are loaded with fiber. 

While the benefits seem endless, if it is time for you to expand your avocado recipe repertoire beyond guacamole and avocado toast, here are three recipes that are sure to delight your taste buds!
