Expert Tips

Looking for another quick and easy spread? Top a block of cream cheese with raspberry spreadable fruit and toasted slivered almonds.

Ideas for leftover avocado: Slice thinly and put on sandwiches, cube and toss with salads or simply enjoy as is! (Wrap leftover avocado tightly in plastic wrap to keep it from turning brown.)

Recipe was easy, simple and also very good!! I did omit the cilantro -knowing that the event I was bringing this dish to that the people do not care for the herb- and I used fresh salsa. Worked out great and I''ll be using this again soon.
