Avocado made its way to us all the way from Central and South America. A perfectly ripe avocado is known for its green color, creamy texture, and a wealth of nutrients that are good for you. It’s packed with minerals and vitamins like C, K, E, and B6.
In today’s article, we’ll explore how we can incorporate avocado into our dishes. Guacamole isn’t the only tasty dish you can make with it. Whether you’re craving something sweet or savoury, you’re in the right place!
Avocado soup
This quick and amazing recipe is perfect for lovers of creamy soups. You’ll need one finely chopped onion, two cloves of garlic, heavy cream, two cups of homemade broth, lime juice, and, surprisingly, four avocados.
Start by sautéing the garlic and onion in a pot with some oil, then add the broth and lime juice. Next, stir in the finely chopped avocado and season to taste. Before blending the mixture with an immersion blender, add the heavy cream and bring everything to a boil.
For those who love a spicy kick, adding jalapeños is the perfect touch. You can also top the soup with seeds or toasted croutons when serving.

Avocado ice cream
Need to cool down? On these hot summer days, this treat will hit the spot. To make it, you’ll need two ripe avocados, a bit of dried ginger (but don’t overdo it), heavy cream—ideally with a high fat content—and an equal amount of milk, whichever type you prefer. The last ingredients are sweetened condensed milk and a pinch of salt.
The preparation couldn’t be simpler. Blend everything together, pour the mixture into a container, and let it chill in the freezer for at least 3 hours. You can even leave it in the freezer overnight for an extra refreshing treat.

Avocado caprese salad
We’ll finish off our recipes with a light salad that has an intriguing flavor, thanks to a combination of ingredients you might not expect to taste so good together.
For this salad, you’ll need arugula, spinach, mozzarella, a drizzle of balsamic vinegar, nuts—preferably pine nuts or walnuts—avocado, and the surprise ingredient: strawberries, which will add a unique twist to the flavor. For an extra touch, finely chop some mint and sprinkle it on top. Enjoy! 🙂
