If you’re only mashing avocados for guacamole, you’re missing out. Creamy, buttery, packed with healthy fats and fiber, and delicious, there are many ways to use ripe avocados. Their mild flavor means they can be incorporated into a variety of recipes. Silky avocado pudding, creamy avocado dip, tangy deviled eggs, summery salsas, taco toppers, salads, and sauces, avocados are for so much more than guac and avo toast.
