From Memorial Day through Labor Day, as Americans work, travel and dedicate themselves to the pleasures of summer dining, there’s always a burger at the end of the trail.
While burgers are as varied as the customers who consume them, a finishing touch of Fresh California Avocado enhances any version with smooth texture, summery flavor and seasonal appeal.
As summer and fresh avocado season are almost one and the same and June is California Avocado Month, savvy operators know that adding a layer of Fresh California Avocado to their signature burger is a crowd pleaser. While many Americans are burger classicists–and there’s no denying the appeal of a Double Guacamole Burger–the burger is truly a creative platform for summer menus. For the lighter appetite, consider menuing M Café’s Seared Tuna Burger with Avocado or a Avocado Chicken Slider. And, satisfy vegan and vegetarians customers with grain-based Farro Burgers with Sliced Avocado.
While planning Summer Holiday menus, look to CaliforniaAvocado.com/Foodservice for seasonal sandwiches and other dishes featuring Fresh California Avocados. Browse the California Avocado Commission recipe database for menu solutions, and check out these helpful resources for Fresh California Avocado best practices and usage tips: nutrition, selection, storage and handling information.
