For Fresh California Avocados, Cinco de Mayo arrives at the same time the crop reaches peak production. For Fresh California Avocado fans, that fact alone is a great excuse for a party. Spring is the time of year that West Coast operators get creative with California Avocados, and the California Avocado Commission encourages chefs around the country to capitalize on the menu occasion.
With Cinco de Mayo highlighting the height of Fresh California Avocado seasonality, the holiday offers an ideal opportunity to showcase the fruit to its best advantage. Blessed with a mild, nutty taste, a rich, smooth texture, Fresh California Avocados top popular salads and flatbreads with style and appeal. For Californians, fusion cuisine means selecting the ripest, top-quality ingredients–like Fresh California Avocados–then thinking outside the box. The results are delectable items like an Organic Arugula Salad with Tempura California Avocado or Grilled Lamb Heart and California Avocado Flatbread . Of course, a salute to the origins of Cinco de Mayo is always in order, making a bowl of Guacamole Nogada a welcome addition to the menu.
