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
I'm bombarded by the "California Avacados" commercial every ten minutes, and they're constantly on sale due to so many growers here in Long Beach, so I'm gonna give in and get some because this is a creative way I've never tried!

Avocado is a new favourite around my house. Even on toast! Thanks for the ideas, I love the idea of mixing it with tuna!

I am obsessed with avocados this summer, I eat them almost every day. These sound tasty, particularly the black ban one. Like the idea of presenting the salsa in the center, pretty.
