Crema de Aguacate

The hot sauce in this recipe doesn’t make the soup particularly spicy. It just adds a subtle acid note to cut through some of the cream.

Avocado Green Curry Noodles

Making your own green curry paste is easier than you probably think, but feel free to substitute store-bought if you want. There are some great options available in most grocery stores.

Avo Deviled Eggs

This mayo-free, avocado-stuffed egg takes a note from those spicy stuffed eggs of old by adding a little jalapeño. Of course, you can also use avocado in your favorite traditional deviled egg recipe; simply replace the mayo with avocado.

Blueberry & Avocado Muffins

A little avocado gives these muffins a fantastic tender and moist crumb and the perfect crust. I suggest making a double batch and freezing any you don’t gobble up immediately.

Avocado Chutney

I’m a sucker for sweet-and-sour dishes, so I want to spread this chutney on everything, like the Lamb Chop with Avocado Chutney and Spinach Avocado Phyllo Rolls.

Avocado & Cream Paletas

It may seem strange to have avocado in an ice pop, but avocado pairs surprisingly well with cinnamon and cream. While you can make these with any avocado variety, try fruitier versions like Choquette or Bacon if you can.

Waffled Avocado Quesadillas

What’s better than a cheesy avocado quesadilla made in a waffle iron? You have to try it to believe it. Just be careful to avoid getting cheese in the waffle iron, or you’ll have a lot of cleanup to do!

Thai Stuffed Avocado

Tamarind paste gives pad thai its signature flavor, and it’s hard to replace with anything else. This dish will still be delicious if you have to leave it out, but it won’t quite have the same pad thai quality.

Black Cod with Avocado Cauliflower Mash

This recipe looks fancy, but it is stunningly simple. It calls for black cod, just because I think it’s delicious, but you can use just about any roasted fresh fish…salmon, trout, and halibut are all terrific.
