Avocado Spread Recipe
Transform your ripe avocado into a simple and delicious Avocado Spread. Use it for avocado toast or slathered on any sandwich to take it to the next level. It also makes a great dip. You can make this in less than 10 minutes.
Avocado toast is a great way to get healthy fats on top of whole grains. The fat will help keep you full before a busy day.
When you buy a few avocados, they never seem to ripen together or one might be a little over-ripe and you need to figure out how to save it. This recipe lets you mix it up now but eat it today or tomorrow.
