Strawberry-avocado Toast

No ratings yet

AVOCADOS 101: There are many different varieties of avocado available in the market. The most common and one of the creamiest is the Hass variety, with its pebbly skin, which darkens slightly as it ripens. That’s the variety I’d recommend for this and most mashed avocado dishes because its texture is silky and its nutty taste very subtle and delicious. Avocados are rich and fattening, but most of their fat is the good kind! They’re a great source, in other words, of monounsaturated fat and are also packed with other nutrients such as Vitamins K, E, and C.
