Haute Grilled Hass Avocados

Contributed by: NAPSA

Football Fans Score A Touchdown With Simple Avocado Dishes (NAPSA) - Tailgating season is here and now is the time to plan your game day menu. Tired of the same old party foods and looking to make a splash in the parking lot? With bragging rights on the line, delicious food is the most important element of any tailgating event.

Preparing a party in a parking lot doesn't have to mean limited game day snacks. The new must-have item at tailgating parties across the country is the Hass avocado. Fans are learning that this fruit is so much more than guacamole. It adds a creamy and delicious flavor that will transform ordinary tailgating snacks into tantalizing meals.

Avocados are an easy ingredient to work with and will add a burst of flavor to your dishes. Some simple ways to incorporate Hass avocados into tailgating recipes include:

• Topping a burger or a hot dog with fresh slices of avocado-the marrying of warm grilled meat with cool and creamy avocado is delicious

• Making a base of guacamole dip and setting up small bowls of "add-ins" so that each partygoer can personalize his or her own game day dip

• Creating wraps or sandwiches with mashed avocado as a spread along with your favorite meats

• Making a chunky salsa of Hass avocados, corn, bell pepper and chilies to top off your barbecued meats

• Adding avocados to your make-ahead salads. They can bring a velvety texture to potato salads, pasta salads and green salads that you serve at your pregame party.

Hass avocados are the perfect addition to a variety of game day dishes. For more information and delicious recipes, visit the Hass Avocado Board Web site at www.avocadocentral.com.
