Avocados are rich in nutrients
Avocados are a good source of vitamins C, E, K, B6, riboflavin, niacin, folate, pantothenic acid, magnesium, and potassium. They also provide lutein, beta-carotene, and omega-3 fatty acids, aka healthy fats.

- Salads. We love it on Black Bean Tomato Quinoa Salad, as a replacement for mayo-base dressing in this Broccoli Apple Salad. It’s great on roasted chicken and vegetables as well.
- Tacos. Butternut squash tacos, Fish Tacos, Shrimp Tacos, and Skillet Shrimp Fajitas as all excellent with Avocado lime dressing.
