There’s a bit of a debate on what counts as a grilled cheese sandwich. Apparently, if you add other ingredients it becomes a melt, so technically speaking this is a guacamole cheese melt. Of course, when you start adding ingredients like bacon, it becomes the best sandwich ever. Go truly sugarcookie and serve it with some tomato soup.  Recipe here.

DEVILED AVOCADO EGGS

guacamole deviled eggs look fancy and and they're very healthy

I love deviled eggs. I think they’re fun for picnics, dinner parties, or just for snacking. They’re easy to make, you can boil the eggs in advance for quick assembly later on. Egg whites and guacamole is also a fantastically healthy dish, with protein and green. Make them cute by using quail eggs for a mini version. Make a giant centre piece at a party by using an ostrich egg.  Get the delicious deviled recipe here.

Guacamole Shrimp Ceviche

Master chefs are you ready to impress? Because this recipe looks and tastes like a million dollars. It’s got fruit, it’s got shellfish, it’s got guacamole. If they stacks look too hard to assemble, you can just serve them in half avocado skins, and you can call them ceviche boats. A refreshing taste for summer, but it can’t go wrong for any other season to be honest. Find recipe here.
