"Butter Fruit"?

Is there such a thing called "Butter Fruit"? The answer is yes!

In Chinese, Avocado literally is translated as "Butter Fruit". The main reason is because the texture of an avocado is just like butter, smooth, silky and spreadable! The myth about avocado is that they are fatty. WRONG! They are only 4.5g of fat per serving and avocado is good for you, but remember not to overeat them.

I am a sucker for Mexican food and I love guacamole and it is one of the dishes that I always make in the summer for potluck party. I will also make them as a side dish when we make fish tacos!

On New Year Eve, I tried an avocado & egg dip at my friend's house. It was delicious and when I saw some ripe avocado today, I wanted to make it for dinner. This dish/dip is simple, light and it's perfect for the summer! 

Chunky Limey Avocado & Egg Salad/Dip 

3 Hard Boiled Eggs (diced)

3 Ripe Avocados (diced)

Juice of 1 Lime

2 Brunches of Green Onion (chopped)

Quarter of a Red Onion (chopped)

Black Pepper & Salt to Taste

1 Teaspoon of Cumin

A Dash of Cayenne Pepper (Optional)

Mix/Mash everything together and refrigerate for 1 hour before serving it with tortilla chips, or use it as a topping for burger!

Enjoy!!! :)
