I love avocados! I love them so much that there are times that I might buy too many. I love them sliced with a burger or as homemade guacomole. Recently, I have enjoyed them as part of breakfast with my eggs. I love them even more when my resident chef (aka my husband) makes something delicious with them.
Since guacomole is a family favorite, I love to have the necessary ingredients on hand to make it fresh. Not only are they delicious, they are also good for you. I think it is important to find new ways to incorporate avocados into our diet and these new recipes will help do just that.
Did you know that avocados are a good fat?
According to a survey by Fresh Avocados – Love One Today®, over 75% of the fat in avocados is unsaturated (monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats), making them a great substitute for foods high in saturated fat.
Avocados contain naturally good monounsaturated fat and are cholesterol free. Naturally good fats are an important part of a healthy diet. Foods that are cholesterol free are important to me and my family. This is why I was so happy to host an in-home appetizer party and try out new recipes with friends and family. Great time and new ways to use my avocados sound like a perfect plan!
So versatile, fresh avocados can be used in any meal or dish. They can be used as a recipe substitute for bad fats, a way to add naturally good fats, a nutrient-dense fruit to add nutrient value, and as a vegan or vegetarian possible alternative to dairy products.
We tried out two new recipes: Vegan Avocado Ceviche and Chipotle Avocado Stuffed Cherry Tomatoes.
I love greek yogurt and blending the avocado it and seasonings gave it the perfect zest of flavor. It was delicious! My crowd raved over how it displayed. It did taste amazing in the tomatoes but this recipe is so versatile. My husband had made extra so later in the party we enjoyed it as chipotle avocado dip with chips.
Calling all vegan and those who love delicious tasting ceviche! The minute this bowl hit the table, it was gone! So many veggies that were full of flavor paired with a tortilla chip made this a perfect party app.
Vegan Ceviche and Chips = DELICIOUS!
We were so glad that ran let up so that we could head outdoors to enjoy our get together.
During our party, I shared the other recipe cards from the Hass Avocado Board. These two below were favorites that my guests wanted to try and make when they returned home.

My husband eats so many avocados, especially since he became a vegetarian. Those recipes sound delicious, and I love your shirt!
I LOVE avocados. And those tomoatos are so cute. I’ll bet they’re delicious!
Avocados, gosh how I love them! I get them and honestly, first thing I do is grab a bt of salt, open them up and eat them with a spoon. I put them on sandwiches, you name it. I like the little filled tomatoes- how cute and a great looking snack, or in my case I would eat several so a meal ha!
YUM! My family LOVES avocados on just about anything!
I’ve got to be honest and say I’ve never tried avocado! It seems to be the in thing at the moment, so I’ll have to give some of your must-try recipes a go 🙂

This looks so good. I love a good avacado dip!
I really want to try the avocado stuffed tomatoes!! Yummy!!
OK- That Vietnamese Avocado Zoodle Salad Bowl is on my menu plan for next week!! The stuffed tomatoes look really good, too. We love avocados over here, so I’m sure they will make it into the plan at some point, too! LOL (Also- the shirts are hilarious!!)
Thank you! ARen’t the shirts cute! I have been wanting to make the Zoodle salad too!
I absolutely love avocados. Besides being super healthy they are also so tasty. And how cute are those stuffed cherry tomatoes really.
I’ve only recently started to eat avocados. I never used to like the texture but recently I really enjoy them x
I really love avocados. They are so yummy I could eat one just by itself. The ceviche is kinda funny… but I don’t know what else you’s call it.
I am not ashamed to admit eat avocado almost everyday. Yum!
I’m vegan so this was a great recipe post for me 🙂
We had so much fun at our avocado party! I did the vegan ceviche too and it was amazingly delicious.
I want to try the stuffed tomatoes. Those look to die for! I just recently became an avocado fan!
I did know that avocados contain good fat. Not only do they taste really good, but the best part is that they are good for you too.
I pretty much love any dish that has avocado! I’m so glad it is really healthy. Also, the guacomole dish looks so tasty.
Im going to gather my ingredients now for this recipe. It will be perfect for dinner tonight; I have family coming to visit and I really wanted a recipe to impress them with. Thank you for sharing it.
Looks delicious! I’m definitely making the vegan avocado ceviche!!
