Quinoa and avocado salad

Ok ok, so salads might not be the obvious choice for wintery food but hear us out on this one. The addition of quinoa and interesting greens and seeds make this hearty and filling and you could even serve this at room temperature, or warmed. Swap out the lettuce for spinach if you like, and serve alongside grilled chicken or fish to turn into a substantial meal.

Easy vegan tacos

Avocados and Mexican food are longtime BFFs, but here they do more than simply act as a garnish in the form of guacamole. If you’re not strictly vegan, feel free to add a little sour cream or even some sharp cheddar into the mix.

Mexican chicken tortilla soup with lime and avocado

It’s common knowledge that avos have great cooling qualities when served with something spicy, and this recipe only proves that. This soup comes together in no time at all, will warm you up from the inside out and is the perfect vehicle for creamy avos.

Celebrate the 2021 avo season by adding an avo (or two) to your family’s best-loved dishes, for simple, quick and utterly delicious meals made with love. 
The buttery, creamy green-skinned avo varieties Fuerte, Edranol, Ryan, Reed and Pinkerton are available from March until October, and the rich, nutty dark-skinned Hass, Maluma Hass and Lamb Hass from March until November. 
While we love the fact that South African avos are available almost all year-round, we’re particularly happy they’re in plentiful supply in winter due to the immune support they may offer in the colder months.
