Save the Date for the California Avocado 4th of July Blast!

If you follow me on Instagram, then you may have noticed I have been a little obsessed with California Avocados lately. It’s prime season for this beautiful, fleshy green, antioxidant packed food and I am taking full advantage of it by eating as many as I can!

Do you love California Avocados as much as I do? Great! My friend Dara, from Cookin’ Canuck, and I want you to join us for some California Avocado recipe fun! We’re having a California Avocado 4th of July Blast and think it’s only fitting we turn this thing into the biggest and best avocado party around! Won’t you join us?

How to Participate in the California Avocado 4th of July Blast:

  1. First things first. Get in your kitchen and start creating with California Avocados. Then, share your avocado recipes on your blog in advance of our party starting on June 27th. You can enter up to 3 recipes! If you have favorite recipes to share that you’ve posted on your site in the past, that’s great too, as long as you add the info in #3 to be eligible. Don’t have a blog? No problem! You’ll have the opportunity to leave your recipe(s) in the comments section of our blog posts on Cookin’ Canuck or Dine & Dish when the party goes live.
  2. During the link-up week (June 27 – July 4, 2012), add the blog post link of each of your California Avocado post(s) to the widget on either Cookin’ Canuck or Dine & Dish. You only need to add it on one site, but it will show up on both.
  3. Somewhere in your post, we ask that you include the following “Join Dine & Dish and Cookin’ Canuck for the California Avocado 4th of July Blast, sponsored by the California Avocado Commission.” This must be included in your post to be eligible for the awesome prizes.
My favorite lunch! And no dishes needed!

    My fav is what my husband and I call “avocado butter”. Take some avos, crushed garlic, lemon juice, & pinch of salt. We eat it with bread instead of butter. Soooooo good!!!!!

    My favorite thing to do with avocado’s is make avocado ranch. You take a cup of ranch and one avocado. Mash the avocado, you can leave chunks if you like and mix it with ranch. It goes great with EVERYTHING!! I use it on salads, sandwiches, burgers, as a dip for veggies or chips. it is absolutely DELICIOUS!! As I dont have a blog I shared this site on Facebook 🙂
