Avocado Mash
Avocado Mash
This is guacamole, more or less. Maybe less, since there are only 4 ingredients! Scoop it up with whole-grain chips or raw vegetables, top your sandwiches or burgers with it, spread it on toast, or dollop it on top of chicken, fish, or your favorite salad. Owen Osborne, our Kids Advisory Board member, recommends adding a little garlic to the mash. What would you add?
