New Shrimp Louie (Poached Shrimp Salad)
In this spirit of classics like shrimp Louie or niçoise salad, this is a fairly basic, highly customizable salad-for-dinner deal, in which the nonnegotiables are fresh seafood (shrimp or salmon), crunchy lettuce (romaine or Little Gems) and tons of lemon (which comes in a tangy vinaigrette made with shallot and tarragon). From there, you can add any number of raw or lightly blanched vegetables, like shaved radish, sliced avocado or blanched green beans. To make things easy and efficient, the shrimp, eggs and green beans can all be cooked in the same pot of boiling water, so it’s not much of a fuss.
Migas Breakfast Tacos
Tortilla chips in tacos may seem like overkill, but they’re not. Set into scrambled eggs that are loaded with onions and poblanos, they soften and enrich the mix while keeping some crispiness. A slice of avocado on top — along with melted cheese — adds a nice creaminess to the mix. These tacos work well with red or green salsa, so use your favorite. While these would impress at a weekend brunch, they also come together quickly on weekday mornings, and can be wrapped in foil to be eaten out of hand.
Berry Coconut Soft Serve
A nutritious soft serve with antioxidant-rich berries, coconut milk, banana and avocado for dairy-free creaminess.
Scarlett’s Tuna Salad
For when it’s too hot to cook, there's the chef Scarlett Lindeman’s tuna salad — the same one she serves at her Mexico City restaurant, Cicatriz. Made with high-quality, oil-packed tuna, the salad is fresh, juicy, bright and summery, composed with cucumbers, avocado, pickled onion and lots of herbs. Don’t be afraid to season the cucumbers generously with salt at the start, and to season more as you build the layers of the salad. The dish is so simple that seasoning it well is key.
Easiest Avocado Toast
I had never tried an avocado toast before this. I thought was too overrated (sorry!), but actually, my mind changed when I created this recipe with ingredients I had at home. It is easy and full of flavor.

Avocado Ice Cream (Helado de Aguacate)
Avocado’s natural fat yields an ice cream with a very creamy texture in this helado de aguacate recipe, and its flavor is heightened with a touch of citrus.
Cobb Salad
While the origins of a Cobb salad are still up for debate, what goes into one is fairly absolute: tender chicken breast, tangy tomatoes, perfectly hard-boiled egg and, perhaps most important, crispy bacon. This classic version relies on crumbled blue cheese and ripe avocado for creaminess, rather than a cheese or buttermilk-based dressing, making way for a mustardy shallot vinaigrette. The way each of the ingredients is prepared will depend on personal preference: Are you a chunky, chopped salad kind of person? Or do you prefer your lettuce torn and tomatoes sliced? Here, the torn and sliced approach is taken for a more elegant visual, but feel free to make it your own. It also halves nicely if you're cooking for two.
Bacon Avocado Dip
Combine ripe avocados, crispy bacon, and lime juice with Lee Kum Kee Sriracha Mayo for a deliciously creamy, tangy, and spicy dip that will have your guests coming back for seconds. Serve with chips or fries, or use as a sandwich or slider spread!
Born again tomato sandwich
Ok it's not really born again and it's not really a sandwich either; I could admit that it is not really a recipe, but there is no shame in that. It is a good way to not-ruin a perfect summer tomato though; it keeps the accompaniments minimal while taking it one step beyond gobbling on the way home from the farmer's market. Once I tried one of these I found it difficult to stop. It could be made into an appetizer, too, with very small rice cakes and tomatoes.
Vietnamese Tofu Lettuce Wraps

Smoked Salmon, Avocado, and Cream Cheese Sandwich
This sandwich recipe keeps extremely well because it doesn't get soggy. The cream cheese and salmon keep the avocado from getting exposed to air and browning.
Detox salad
Perfect for days after a big party
Deconstructed California Roll
When you want the taste of a California roll in a hurry, turn to this recipe. It makes an easy, light lunch, dinner or party side dish. Simply scale up for larger parties and quantities. I've seen a similar idea in Good Housekeeping or Better Homes and Gardens magazine, but their version was more complicated. This is my pared down, memorization-friendly version!
Mint choc chip
this is the the easiest and best dairy free ice cream alternative by far. this little combo of mine, is definitely just as good if not better than the mint choc chip i always use to get as a kid from ice cream carts, and obviously its so much much better for you. its packed full of healthy fats, natural sugars and anti oxidants that will all help to keep you mood lifted, your metabolism healthy and energy levels up for all the fun in the sun that is on its way with summer.
Everyday Avocado Dressing
Avocado-Cucumber Soup
This simple but elegant soup graced the table at one of the monthly luncheons held by the Thursday Afternoon Cooking Club, an organization of Wichita, Kan., women that has been meeting since 1894. Each month, the 24 women of the club gather over their best tableware to share recipes and cooking tips. English cucumbers work well for this recipe, but cucumbers fresh from the garden are a great choice if you have them. The soup could also be blended and served chilled in small cups and passed around on a tray for a cocktail party.

Kickin' Corn with Avocado Cream
I made this recipe because of my love for avocados and corn, particularly in the summer when sweet corn is in season. If sweet corn is not in season, not to worry, frozen corn works as well in the winter months.
