avocado

Avocado isn’t just for toast, though there’s nothing wrong with toast.

On this site it shows up as the creamy base of a five-minute smoothie, the thing that makes a grilled chicken salad feel substantial, the slice that finishes a bacon avocado burger, and the element in a grain bowl that ties everything else together.

It’s a year-round ingredient that works across every meal of the day — breakfast casserole, lunch salad, dinner tacos — and its job is almost always the same: add richness without weighing the dish down.
