BLT + CALIFORNIA AVOCADO =
MAKING CUSTOMER FAVORITES INTO SEASONAL SIGNATURES

Bacon, lettuce and tomato is a combination as American as apple pie. Add slices, dices or cubes of Fresh California Avocado and a few signature twists to the recipe, and you’ve created a seasonal sensation. Since your customers wait all winter long for Fresh California Avocados, think about how happy they’ll be when you serve them throughout the day.

Start with breakfast. The California Avocado Bruffin takes a few liberties with the venerable BLTA (brioche, sundried tomatoes, cheddar cheese), but delivers bacon-avocado satisfaction for the grab-and-go crowd. At lunch, lighten up the presentation with a California Avocado Chopped Salad, a cool, colorful and flavorful solution to warm weather dining. As the sun goes down, out come the Bacon, California Avocado and Tomato Club appetizers, bite-size BLTAs that complement summery cocktails.
