Creamy, rich and endlessly versatile, avocado adds a buttery touch to salads and bowls. Pair it with juicy citrus in an easy Avocado Citrus Salad with orange, grapefruit and toasted almonds, or slice it over a quick weeknight bowl of Garlic Ginger Tofu with sesame seeds and nori over rice. Tip: a ripe avocado gives slightly when you press it gently. To speed up a hard one, put it in a paper bag on the counter for a day or two, and squeeze a little lemon or lime juice over cut avocado to keep it from browning.
