Avocados have a cultural reputation as an indulgent, rather ostentatious California luxury and they deserve it. Rich, creamy and gorgeous, the avocado may well be the glamorous Hollywood starlet of the fruit world. They're also a great source of potassium and vitamins E, A and C.

Ingredients

4 avocados, mashed
Juice of one lime
3 garlic cloves, freshly pressed
5 to 6 green onions, thinly sliced
1 cup cilantro, cleaned and chopped
1 to 2 seedless jalapeños, diced

Method

Mix avocado with lime juice and then stir in garlic, onions, cilantro, and jalapeños. Try spooning it into a half of a papaya for breakfast. Or do the chips and quesadilla thing. It also makes a super bagel topper.
