Irvine, CA — From Memorial Day through Labor Day, Americans dedicate themselves to the delights of summer. As summer and Fresh California Avocado season are almost one and the same and June is California Avocado Month, operators planning for high-volume holidays know to turn to the California Avocado Commission for menu inspiration.
Fresh or grilled, piled on sandwiches, tossed in salads, or swirled into a refreshing beverage or dessert, make green this summer’s most popular color by featuring Fresh California Avocados in signature dishes. Boost the flavor and appeal of chicken and fish sandwiches with Grilled Pineapple-California Avocado Salsa. Combining seasonal ingredients in a Crab and California Avocado Quesadilla ensures a memorable start to any meal. And few customers can resist a finale like California Avocado Mint Chip Whip, an avocado and ice cream confection spiked with chocolate liqueur.
