Summertime With Cabo Fresh!

Take Your Summer Barbeque to the Next Level with Cabo Fresh Guacamole!
Guacamole is a favorite chip dip at parties everywhere, but it holds much more potential. Summer barbeques usually have quite a spread of foods and most of them can be made with or accompanied by guacamole! Let’s check out a few barbeque favorites:
Burgers and dogs: There’s plenty of room for imagination between the buns of a burger or hotdog. It’s classic to fill the space with lettuce, tomato, and onion while slathering the buns with ketchup and mustard, but let’s throw a layer of guac in there! It adds a nice creamy freshness to your burger, and you can even give it a kick with our Cabo Fresh Spicy Guacamole.
Deviled Eggs: People have mixed feelings about deviled eggs, but maybe we can sway their taste buds by adding guacamole into the yolk filling. When you blend the egg yolks with mayo, add a quarter cup of guacamole and stir well before squeezing the mixture back into the egg halves. For more detailed instructions, head over to our recipes page!
Baked potato: Baked potatoes are pretty set in their ways, always being stuffed with cheese, sour cream, butter, bacon and chives, but its time to mix things up! Who is sour cream’s cousin? None other than guacamole! The two pair nicely in Mexican dishes, so why not combine them in an all-American classic? Guacamole and bacon get along well too, so you know it can’t go wrong. We love it with our Cabo Fresh Fiesta Guacamole. Give it a try at your next barbeque!
Tomato Cucumber Salad: Okay, sure, we already covered potato salad, but let’s include a more nutritious one as well! Avocados fit into most green salads, so guac can too, right? Right! Let’s say most people already include lettuce on their burgers, so our salad base is going to be comprised of tomatoes and cucumber. Cut them up into small chunks, crumble some goat or feta cheese over the top and scoop a dollop of guac into the mix. Drizzle some olive oil over it and with a pinch or two of salt, you have yourself a fresh and healthy salad, ready to find its way onto friends’ plates!
Guac-a-Rita: I bet you thought guac could only be added to the foods at a barbeque, but we’re not stopping there! Why not take it to the next level and get tipsy with it? Margaritas are a summer classic, so we decided to give them our own spin. Some tequila, a little Cointreau, a scoop of guacamole, and a splash of lime, all blended until creamy - tangy and delicious! Poured into a salt-rimmed glass and topped with cilantro, it’s the best way to wash down burgers and potato salad! For some extra zing, use our new Lime & Jalapeño Guacamole!
