12 Avocado Recipes For Spring That Prove There's More To Life Than Guacamole

As much as I love having some smashed avocado on crispy chips, having it in the form of popsicles, dip, and "egg-ocado" (don't worry, you'll see) is something I just can't say no to. And chances are, next time your avocado is ripe, you'll be feeling the same way...
