Ever since the Fitbloggin Avocado contest, I’ve been completely hooked on avocados. I just can’t get enough of them.
And… next week, as part of my prize pack for winning 2nd place in the recipe contest, the commission is sending me an ENTIRE BOX of California Avocados. Can you imagine??? I’m so excited!
I’ve been eating a lot of carrots lately as snacks, and I wanted a different kind of dip to use with them. I always like to put something on them… whether it’s Laughing Cow Cheese (a fave!) or one of my homemade healthy dips. Then, I found this idea…
How delicious does that look? And, why haven’t I tried something like this before??? Adding an avocado to your favorite salsa gives it a creamy and decadent texture… perfect for dipping chips, vegetables, and it even can be used as a salad dressing! So good!
