  the most common use of avocado in the west is in salads in salads or making   the Mexican guacamole recipe but I'm going to give you a few more ideas  a few more ideas for you to check out that the   avocado can be really versatile let's  how to make stuffed avocados stuffed avocado   of avocado quinoa and salad elements  let's go one by one I've already pulled one of them out   I'll show you how I do it, you open an avocado

  you push a little bit on the pipe the truth is it comes out

   and then without breaking it, we throw it away  and with a lot of care you go making cuts   like streets so that it comes out later  in squares to the other side being careful not to cut the shell once we have already made the cuts  it is simply a matter of going over the edge   the knife gently making the whole shape of the fruit  the form of the fruit and they come out practically alone   you give a little help and it doesn't matter if the cut is not perfect  perfect in fact we are fine like this because it suits us   to leave a little bit that helps a lot to the dish

  the recipe we have already taken out practically everything   and here we have the two shells which are going to be the  container of today's recipe set them aside

   on the other hand I've cooked quinoa a very very light cereal very very  very light and very very quick to make the measurements are   the same as the rice one of quinoa I was going to say  one of rice and it is that it is an automatism one of   quinoa two of water you put it on high heat until it boils and  boil and from there you lower it and you leave it to do   15 minutes you have cereal ready it is fantastic it is  very loose the truth is that it facilitates a lot   the kitchen it's super nutritious and in this bowl we're going to mix the  this bowl we are going to mix the squares of avocado [Sound] we put the plate aside [Sound] we are going to cut tomato very small [Sound] and it's mostly about making a salad  a salad with quinoa and avocado consistent   and protein and a haber if I can do it without  the tomato to undo me and I almost have it [Sound] we put tomato [Sound] I cut red onion so as not to cry  in front of the public also tiny   red onion has a lot of color and is very aromatic

I bring it here lastly this is the final avocado  container for the final avocados   cilantro a plant that I love  it is delicious we cut it tiny to add it this dish can  remind a little bit of tabbouleh [Sound] we put it in [Sound] when you cut it all the smell comes out [Sound] we have removed all the leaves from the cilantro, we put it aside  and we put it aside and we go with the vinaigrette in a   small bowl you pour the extra virgin olive oil, extra virgin olive oil  extra virgin olive oil super important I use it even for frying

[Sound] let's go with a little bit of apple cider vinegar

[Sound] it's a simple vinaigrette but you could make  the one you like with a touch of salt

[Sound] and a dash of curry for a touch of exotica [Sound] enough to bring out the flavor  to bring out the flavor but not sting and I clean my fingers you cook what you have that one gets involved and I don't have a small spoon but   we can use this one which is also  is the one that we're going to mix with [Sound] you go around [Sound] to make everything cohesive [Sound] you add of the dressing to this salad  which is not only protein because of the avocado   but also because of the quinoa it's a fabulous combination

  combination are an ideal dish for vegetarians

[Sound] and then everything shakes [Sound] try it and see if you like it with salt [Sound] a little bit more you see mmm it is very  good a little more salt because quinoa is not cooked with salt

  with salt it is recommended to cook it only with   water because it grows in very high lands  that already have salt we stir again [Sound] and now if you don't need to test it any more  because I know it's perfect [Sound] we take the bowl we enter we prepare  the avocado filling very carefully [Sound] is perfect because the hard and rough  hard and rough skin resists a lot [Sound] we fill it well so that  it's nice and succulent to the top with a little mountain glue it here we have one to be very careful [Sound] perfect and the second avocado you can have this on its own  as a main course or as a starter for a meal

   it's also perfect for dinner one avocado gives you enough to  enough to fill several bowls so you can have it for   you can keep it because it's a salad

  excellent invite me to dinner someone is another plan [Sound] That's [Sound] it's a super cute dish and it's really good if you want to give it  a final touch of pepper just in the presentation

[Sound] here it is [Sound] we could say the avocado is a neutral fruit  because because it has a flavor that is not even sweet   salty and you can transform it into whatever you want

  you want we just made a stuffed avocado   in a salad version and now we're going to make a  milkshake a sweet milkshake this is a recipe   adapted from a classic smoothie from the canary islands  and avocado milkshake that has avocados in it

   it is usually made with cow's milk you can  do it this way I'm going to do it today with milk

   oat milk and it's usually sweetened with sugar but I'm going  I'm going towards the honey we're adapting and making it   these classic recipes something a little bit more  new with new flavors and above all more   healthy I have cut the avocado into small pieces  if it's just for you for a person with a medium to medium   avocado as it is a good size will be enough if it is for more people  for more people for two people take the whole avocado

   if you like a super intense avocado then you can put it all  you put it all but try it first if you don't yet   you know this smoothie little by little we put inside the blender the avocado which slides by itself   add the oat milk more or less up to the middle and then  half and then you will see how thick it gets if it   it needs more or not there is still you see the avocado on top honey we add two tablespoons of honey it is also super healthy  add the second spoonful [Sound] lid and mixer ready for noise [Sound] try it [Sound] perfect and all that's left is put it in a nice glass and it's like a custard and the children love it and  if you feel like it you can put the fridge for a little while mmm nutritious is healthy treat [Sound] avocado is also the ideal ingredient for any salsa  ideal for any salsa sauce for   croquettes sauce for sandwiches I'm going to give you  I'm going to give you a recipe with yoghurt with half   avocado and the other half you keep it, remember  always covered so that it does not oxidize we cut it [Sound] in squares [Sound] we remove the skin which normally comes off in one time  it's fabulous and we chop directly into the blender

[Sound] ufs fell down the good thing about avocado is that it falls apart very quickly, it is easy to cut the last little piece of it [Sound] and that's it I prepared you a natural yogurt without  sugar and if it can be ecological pour it [Sound] and we're going to add the juice of half a lemon

  and then when we hit the blender we're going to add it   you can try it maybe you like it a little bit  a little bit more citrusy with a little bit more   wooden stick we break the fiber  buzz careful with the eyes it stings and squeezer is directly be careful not to drop the seeds  that have a very bitter taste [Sound] let's see if I can help you with the stick to get them out

won't [Sound] we dry our hands and now we only need  add a touch of coarse salt they are like little crystals plus the mixer  will break them perfectly   and sudden pepper of pepper  because this is a sauce so we give it well

[Sound] There it is mixer ready [Sound] and since it's a sauce we're not going to put it in a glass we're going to put it  a glass we're going to keep it in a container   it can last in the fridge for two or three days   and if you are going to make a lot of sandwiches  because you're going on a picnic it'll last you one sitting [Sound] and go dropping look for a tiny jar because as I said  I said the avocado is super fresh   and it's not going to last too long either, you have to eat  you have to eat almost immediately what's in this sauce

   it is also delicious for arepas a latin recipe  latin recipe that I know from Venezuela

[Sound] mmm wuao super tasty and everyone will love it

  here you have your own mmm avocado sauce [Sound] as you see the avocado gives for a lot  sweet salty first we made this smoothie   super energetic then an avocado recipe  stuffed avocados delicious to eat for dinner dish   or accompanying a main dish and finally an avocado salsa  an avocado salsa that you can have with bread

   with toasts with gandhi pancakes with  whatever you like remember that avocado   avocado is not fattening avocado is a super food  that nourishes and helps us especially the brain
