How to buy and use Avocados:
Choose Ripe Avocados that are soft to the touch (not crispy or with black spots on the shell). Avocados are usually taken to the market while they are hard and bitter-tasting. If they are hard like a rock you will not be able to cut them or mash them or do anything with them. They should be creamy on the inside and spread like butter or mash into delightful guacamole, a delicious spread, or make into a wonderful smoothie or pudding. When buying a hard avocado let it set out until soft, but not mushy, use immediately or refrigerate at this point. Use in:
· Black Bean and Avocado Salad
· Kale and Red Cabbage Salad
· Tex Mix Salad
· Guacamole
· Whole Grain Wraps
· Creamy Carob Pie
· Carob Peanut Butter Pudding
· Key Lime Pie
