Marinated Avocado Recipe
The Avocado is, in fact, a fruit, although we use it as a vegetable. There are several varieties, including those with smooth and shiny green skins, and the rougher brownish-black type. All ripe avocados have a beautiful pale green pulp that is easily removed from the skin and stone. A warning to diet-conscious; avocados have a high fat content.
