Some of us like them on sandwiches, mashed up into guacamole, and others like cutting them in half, seasoning with sea salt and pepper, and going to town with the spoon. Avocados can be used in many different ways, so here are <strong>5 creative recipes that feature avocados.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#1: Avocado Dressing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You haven\u2019t lived until you\u2019ve drizzled <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/recipes\/recipe\/creamy-avocado-dressing\/\">creamy avocado dressing<\/a>\u00a0on your salads. It\u2019s like <strong>a healthier version of Ranch dressing<\/strong>, which, between us, has set the health bar pretty low. Here\u2019s what you\u2019ll need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>\u00bd avocado<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00bc cup olive oil<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00bd cup cilantro<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>juice of 1 lemon<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00bd teaspoon cumin<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00bd teaspoon black pepper<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00bd teaspoon sea salt<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Blend it all up and you\u2019ve got yourself heaven in dressing form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#2: Avocado Fries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We aren\u2019t talking about French fries topped with avocado slices. No, no, these are <strong>actual avocado fries! <\/strong>The outside gets so crispy and then you get that classic avocado creaminess once you take a bite. The recipe calls for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>2 firm avocados<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>5 cup panko breadcrumbs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00bd teaspoon sea salt<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00bc teaspoon black pepper<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Olive oil<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>First, you have to heat your oven to 350. Slice your avocados into thin strips and place them in a bowl with the panko breadcrumbs, sea salt, and pepper. Once the pieces are evenly coated, place slices on a baking sheet coated in olive oil and bake for 20-25 minutes. Remove from the oven and go to town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#3: Avocado Pit Smoothie<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Normally we just <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/articles\/diet-nutrition\/why-you-need-to-stop-throwing-away-avocado-pits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">throw avocado pits away<\/a>, but stop because they are actually great for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/store\/colon-digestive-tract-p-21.html?sgst=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>healthy digestion<\/strong><\/a>. They give you a bunch of fiber, which keeps you feeling full so you won\u2019t eat as much. You\u2019ll need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or homemade)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 cup blueberries<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 medium banana<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 avocado pit<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 scoop vanilla protein powder (optional)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Blend it all together until you have the consistency you desire. Enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#4: Avocado Pickles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You might be saying, \u201cAvocado pickles? What?\u201d Oh yes indeed. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/articles\/the-top-8-reasons-you-should-be-drinking-pickle-juice\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pickling is a popular trend<\/a>&nbsp;right now, and it\u2019s a super creative way to use avocados. Here\u2019s what you have to do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>1 cup water<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>25 teaspoons sea salt<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00bd teaspoon whole black peppercorns<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00bd teaspoon chili flakes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2 firm avocados<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can add fresh herbs or other spices if you feel like adding more flavor. Whisk the water, salt, black peppercorns, and chili flakes in a bowl. Slice the avocados into \u00bd\u201d thick strips, place them in a mason jar, and pour the liquid in. Cover the jar and let the pickling magic happen. Refrigerate it for 2 hours and then have at it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#5: Sweet Avocado Toast<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the best, and we repeat, the best breakfast for avocado lovers. Avocado is like camouflage: it blends in with every flavor. Here\u2019s what you\u2019ll need<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>1 slice of multi grain bread<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2 tablespoons plain, no-fat Greek yogurt (unsweetened)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 teaspoon agave<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00bc teaspoon vanilla extract<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00bd medium avocado<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sea salt to taste<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>First thing\u2019s first. Toast that bread until it\u2019s nice and crispy. While the bread is toasting, mix the yogurt, honey, and vanilla in a small bowl. Slice the avocado into thin strips. Spread the yogurt on the bread, top with avocado slices, and take your first bite.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Avocados are much more than guacamole, and they are always worth the additional charge.
