I am an avocado addict. Whether it is spread on crackers, cubed into a salad or whipped into an delectable guacamole, if it is in front of me, I will down it within 5.3 seconds{scientifically proven}.
Not only are avocados tasty, they pack a punch when it comes to health benefits. They are good for your heart and have anti-cancer benefits. For more health information check out the California Avocado website.
With the spring like weather we've been blessed with in the Central Valley, I have been on a HUGE salad kick {exhibits A, B & C} and decided to create an avocado based salad dressing for dinner tonight. I had big dreams for avocado mixed with blue cheese & bacon, when I was reminded that Gary hates blue cheese {if I had only known this before we were married}. So I took it as a challenge to also create a spicy avocado dressing for Gary. Double Schwing!! <---please tell me you get this reference so I don't feel old.
