9 New and Interesting Ways To Use Avocados

I’ll never forget the first time I tried avocado. I was in 6th grade and was at TGIFridays with my best friend and her mom. She ordered guacamole. I had never seen it before and was quite intrigued by how disgusting it looked. To my dismay, the taste was very similar to the look; I was disgusted. But four years ago, something miraculous happened and my tastebuds changed! I tried avocado again and fell in love. Now I rarely go a day without having this superfood.
