Potato salad is a favorite side dish at summer cookouts.

Create a heart healthy potato salad by using a ripe avocado to make your potato salad creamy instead of mayonnaise and sour cream.

Silky texture, great flavor and a nutrition powerhouse! You gotta love those avocados.

Native to Central America and Mexico, avocados are also known as “alligator pears” because of their leather-like appearance and the texture of their skin. Mostly grown in tropical and Mediterranean climates, avocados differ in weight depending upon the variety.

Rich in vitamins and essential nutrients, avocados are considered one of the world’s healthiest foods.

Avocados are packed with good fats (monounsaturated fat like the kind found in olive oil) with no cholesterol or sodium.
