A chameleon of the produce aisle, the avocado can be used in everything from dressings and smoothies to salads, sandwiches, dips and baked goods. But if you're only using them for guacamole (no judgement here), we've got more than 20 inspiring avocado recipes for you to try.

Avocado facts

1. Despite their luxurious and creamy texture, one avocado boasts more than 9 g of fibre—more than any other fruit.

2. Half an avocado has more potassium than a banana and lots of brain-protecting folate.

3. Avocados also have the mono- and polyunsaturated “good” fats that are recommended as part of a healthy diet.
