It’s a great versatile recipe as you could use it as a sandwich filling, in a wrap, taco or with toast. If you wanted to mix in other ingredients like paprika and creme fraiche, then these are optional. Tomatoes, coriander or other herbs work well too.

Avocaodos are a great source of protein fibre, healthy fats and other vitamins particularly vitamin K. Kids usually like them for their creamy mild taste so a great option for kids.

Ingredients

There are only a few ingredients in this recipe but you can add more or even less if you just wanted to mash an avocado then its tasty enough on its own.

Avocado

You can use any type of avocado you like for this recipe. I would just make sure they are soft enough to eat otherwise they won’t mash very well. You can check how ripe and soft it is by gently squeezing it.

Creme friache

I like to use a bit of creme friache in this recipe to make it even creamier but its optional. Other alternatives could be a spoonful of plain yoghurt or sour cream.

How easy is it to make? 

Very easy to make and a great recipe to do with toddlers as they will love mashing the avocado with a fork or using their hands to squeeze it.

How do I store?

The avocado will turn brown if not eaten fairly quickly, so i would suggest having it straight away but you can store it in the fridge with a little lemon juice and in a air tight container to minimise it going brown.
