Cinco De Avocado

Here in America we love any excuse to throw back a cocktail or host a party. Cinco de Mayo is no exception. The month of May is perfect avocado season, and I thought what better way to use up those avocados, then to try them in some recipes that you may have never thought about. Not many things can beat a great guacamole, but here are some other ideas for "An Avocado a Day in May"

• Make a facemask with mashed avocado and honey; leave on for 5 minutes & rinse
• Boost morning toast; spread it with mashed avocado & sprinkle with salt & a dash of hot sauce
• When having chicken wings, blend an avocado half with ranch dressing for dipping
• Make BLTAs for dinner: bacon, lettuce, avocado and tomato sandwiches
• Have a heart-healthy brunch; scramble eggs with olive oil, mix in dices avocado instead of cheese

If all else fails, sometimes nothing is more refreshing than an avocado half sprinkled with salt and pepper served with a spoon.
