From Memorial Day to Flag Day and the 4th of July to Labor Day, America loves summer holidays. For operators, it’s the best time to capitalize on seasonal ingredients–like Fresh California Avocados – and warm weather dining preferences.
Salads are synonymous with summer dining, and the California Avocado Commission offers a wide selection of appetizer, side and main course options. As a showcase for summer fruits, California Avocado and Mango Salad can’t be beat for color and flavor. Stuffed Avocado with Cranberry Chicken Salad is presented in a Fresh California Avocado “half-shell,” making it easy to offer as an appetizer (one half) or main course (two halves). For heartier appetites, Grilled Fajita Salad with California Avocados and Serrano Vinaigrette satisfies with a bounty of protein, vegetables, spices, and Fresh California Avocado.
