"Moroccan Guacamole" Toasts with Fried Egg
What's not to like about a fried egg and "Moroccan guacamole" avocado toast? Together, they make a pretty rich combo. Whip up this easy breakfast recipe!
Nicaraguan Guacamole
When I was 17, I spent a summer living and working in semi-rural Nicaragua. In my down time, I spent a lot of time in people's kitchens, eating and learning. Of all the delicious homey foods I learned to make, this one was the most surprising: a chunky guacamole made with avocado, onion, lime juice, and hard-boiled egg. The flavor is clean and sharp, and the squishy avocado, chewy egg, and crunchy onion give it a wonderful texture. Fresh cilantro is nice, but optional--the guacamole will still taste great without it.
5-Ingredient Super Fresh Salmon Avocado Bagel
This is a quick, fresh, and nutritious energy packed meal that can be eaten for breakfast or any meal of the day! A delicious spin on the classic avocado toast, this bagel will give you the oomph you need to get you through your Monday Blues.
Sweet & Spicy Avocado Toast
A sweet & spicy take on a beloved classic!
4-ingredient Miso Avocado Bowl
This can be gussied up with fresh garlic, a drip of bright citrus or some fruity olive oil, but after making A House in the Hill's kale noodle bowl for the umpteenth time, I've discovered that for me, making this an everyday meal means just four simple ingredients and the same explosive flavor. Sometimes I add shaved carrot, steamed edamame, broccoli or sesame seeds, but this is the base I always return to--served hot or cold. (Note: Authentic buckwheat noodles are gluten-free, but most brands in the U.S. contain wheat flour.)
Super Simple Single Serving Breakfast Quesadilla
What could be easier than just sticking some cheese and the tortilla atop the egg and frying it all together? Easy-peasy Single Serving Breakfast recipe.
Avocado Citrus Breakfast Shake (aka the "I wish I were in San Diego" smoothie)
I was in the frigid Minnesota winter and missing California, so I blended together avocado, orange, and coconut for a hit of sunshine in this smoothie recipe.
Colcannon Inspired, Spicy Asian Kimchi Sweet Potato Salad
This recipe results in something sweet, spicy, and savoury. This sweet potato salad can be made vegan with vegan kimchi (either homemade or store-bought).
Chocolate Avocado Frosting
OK, it may sound kind of gross, but is is super smooth and creamy. The key is using high quality cocoa.
Smashed Kale Salad
Guacamole re-incarnated as a salad. Creamy avocado hand-"smashed" into hearty kale leaves, topped with onion, cilantro and fresh-squeezed lime. Even the kale averse will crave this one.
Corn, Avocado, and Mango Salad
This salad is more of an idea than a recipe. I hate measuring, which is why I generally don't post recipes on the site. But I was so pleased with this simple yet delightful combination of flavors that I figured I'd share--if only to inspire others to create their own fresh take on this summer side. I served the corn salad with halibut, but I'm sure it would taste great with trout and almost any other white fish or protein, or taco, for that matter. All measurements are approximated as is the serving size. I wouldn't worry, though. This salad would be very hard to mess up if you use the guidelines I've provided below. Enjoy.
Shiso Nigiri with Avocado and Umeboshi Paste
You know what's fun? Ordering vegetarian food in Japan. (Share your dietary preferences and country of choice in the comments.) I love vegetarian sushi (it's one of the only acceptable times to have soy sauce on your rice), but even speaking the language and spelling out what I don't eat didn't always help. So sometimes you just have to take matters into your own hands. No more boring cucumber rolls! (No, not really. But make these AND cucumber rolls!)
Avocado Pesto Stuffed Peppers
I love Jalapeno poppers, & these Avocado Stuffed Peppers are the non-spicy (healthier!) recipe. With only 3 ingredients, super simple to make, and always a hit.
Avocado dressing
This is so simple I hardly call it a recipe. Yet it is one of my Summer staples when I am making tasty, healthy ,quick Summer salads. Avocados are such a perfect fruit that I hate to do much to disguise their creamy, nutty flavor and this dressing stays true to that premise. I usually use Hass avocados ,the dark pebbly looking ones that have the best flavor(in my opinion).
Quick Avocado Jalapeño Balsamic Shrimp on Tofu
I really love avocados but they weren't a Japanese food until about a decade ago (reverse-constructed CA Sushi-Roll?). I missed their wonderful flavor and my husband can eat only so much guacamole, so I started blending it into other more traditional dishes. This delicious breakfast dish of avocado/jalapeños teamed up with shrimp/tofu is my own version of fast West-Meets-East with a little European Balsamic thrown in.
Indonesian Avocado and Chocolate Shake
I know this sounds like a crazy idea, but Avocado Chocolate Shakes are as popular in Indonesia as strawberry-banana smoothies are in the US. Try this recipe!
Catalina Crab in Avocado
My Mom gave me this recipe when I was in college and lived in a dorm. No kitchen or utensils available gave me few options for meals. Somehow, 30 years later, this exotic little meal has transferred itself into a quick, light lunch on hot days or an appetizer for a grilled meal.
Avocado & Tomato Salad
A simple Italian style salad
Avocado, Strawberry, and Mango Salad
This is not your average fruit salad recipe. This avocado, strawberry, and mango salad is fresh, sweet, creamy, tangy, and quick to make. And it's oh-so easy!
Black Bean, Avocado and Pineapple salsa
So far, I've served this salsa with halibut, swordfish and tuna, but I suspect chicken and pork would also marry happily, or chips. It tastes better after the ingredients have spent some time together, so feel free to bring it along to a BBQ, a picnic or camping.
Easiest Guacamole
This vegan guacamole is mild and loaded with healthy cholesterol-lowering fats (no mayo here!) You can make as large or as small a batch as you wish.
A sage and honey walnut milkshake (with vegan option)
Looking for a new flavor this recipe puts an earthy, savory spin into a traditional buttermilk drink. For a vegan option you can sub almond milk with a splash of cider vinegar for the buttermilk, which will get some tanginess.
Salmon and Avocado Toasts
I know it's strange, but the truth is, I really hate seaweed. I do, however, love sushi. My seaweed aversion means that most of the time I am limited to sashimi and nigiri. Now, I'm not complaining, but sometimes a girl wants to mix it up a little. Occasionally, I get lucky and a restaurant is willing to make a roll using soy or rice paper (which blissfully tastes like nothing). When this is the case, I always order the same thing: salmon and avocado. Oh salmon and avocado, has there ever been such a glorious pairing? This hors d'oeuvre amps up the creaminess even further with a swash of crème fraîche. A liberal squeeze of lemon juice balances it out with some acidity. Sea salt and pepper brings the whole bite together.
BEAT Breakfast Sandwich
This breakfast sandwich recipe combines bacon, egg, avocado, and cherry or grape tomatoes. I find that cherry tomatoes pack more flavor per bite than most.
