August is in full swing–with gorgeous Midwest sunsets, Saturday walks around the lakes, and of course, LOTS of fresh produce.
Summer is my favorite time to experiment with the tastes of the season to create simple dishes with gorgeous colors. And with ingredients like Driscoll’s raspberries, it’s easy to add a pop of pink and a delicious flavor to any meal. I’ve partnered up with both Driscoll’s and The FeedFeed to bring you this amazing new recipe.
Today’s recipe includes an easy vinaigrette made with pureed raspberries drizzled over smoky, blistered corn and creamy avocado. And when I say easy, I mean EASY. This entire recipe is only five ingredients! Like I said, you don’t really need much when you have fresh Driscoll’s berries.
Bring these avocado cups along to your next picnic by the lake. They’re the perfect dish to share with family and friends. After all, it’s always better to #BerryTogether and enjoy the tastes of the season with those you love!
Did you know that the Twin Cities is the #1 raspberry consuming area in the country? As a matter of fact, we consume 132% more than the national average!
