Little appetizers are a must for any summer get together. I especially love when foods have a lot of color; feels so fun and festive! Here are three variations on making simple avocado salads for your next dinner party. Be sure to serve this quickly as the avocado is best when fresh.
Tuna Avocado Salad: mix together cooked (canned) tuna with sweet pickles, lime juice and a little chopped cilantro. Sprinkle with just a pinch of salt and pepper before serving.
Watermelon Avocado Salad: mix together cubed watermelon, feta or other crumbly cheese, and a little chopped cilantro. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt before serving. For a sweeter version you could use mint instead of cilantro.
Black Bean Salsa Avocado Salad: mix together cooked black beans, chopped tomato, chopped onion, lime juice and a little chopped cilantro. Sprinkle with a little garlic salt just before serving.
You can mix up any kind of filling you prefer. Have fun dressing up your avocados this season! xo. Emma
Love this post. I always buy avocados and run out of chips so sometimes they just sit there. This is a great way to make sure I eat them. Delicious!

I could probably eat that black bean salsa avocado salad everyday. It looks amazing!

I love the idea of this watermelon salad. I think maybe a cold rice salad would also be great in an avocado. Avocado just has just a way of making everything taste fresher. Thanks for the recipes!

Ooh, I always love a new way to eat avocados, and these look both pretty and tasty! I want to have folks over for a picnic just so I can make these!
If you need to prepare these ahead of time, I bet they would keep better if you painted the cut side with lemon juice, closely covered each with plastic wrap, and refrigerated. I always do this when I need to store an extra half avocado and it keeps the flesh green and fresh. :)
