California Avocado Commission Pushes Green for Summer Foodservice Menus
IRVINE, CA – California Avocado Commission is gearing up for an avocado-focused summer as California Avocado Month approaches in June, just in time for the fresh California Avocado season.
The commission expects high-volume holidays throughout the summer season, and has released a detailed selection of consumer menus by infusing avocados into a variance of signature dishes.
“The American Summer Holidays period from Memorial Day through Labor Day coincides with a time of peak California Avocado availability,” said Jan DeLyser, California Avocado Commission's Vice President of Marketing. “Foodservice operators want their menus to feature fresh, local produce and this now is a great the time for California Avocados.”
Avocados are taking the spotlight and splashing green into the following recipes:
- Grilled Pineapple-California Avocado Salsa
- Crab and California Avocado Quesadilla
- California Mint Chip Whip
Consumers can find serving suggestions and nutritional resources here, and peruse a selection of liqueur, savory, confectionary, and fresh avocado ideas to add to their summer repertoire.
AndNowUKnow will continue to deliver your daily greens as seasonal updates progress throughout the summer.
