    This post is sponsored by Driscoll’s Berries and the FeedFeed. All opinions are my own. For more information, see my sponsored content policy.

    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!

      YUM……Again some of my favorite foodstuffs. Did you know that raspberries were Grandpa Jim’s favorite food? When a friend learned this she bought Discolls raspberries at Cosco and would bring a box each week for Jim. I would wash a small cupful each morning and take them to Jim who ate them “aunatural” one by one, savoring each with a gentle smile on his face. And now that I think about it, I never had one single squashed or bruised or over ripe berry in the box!! Interesting facts about Minneapolis and their raspberries.

      When Jim learned that his secretary had raspberry bushes and was selling her bounty to the local grocery, he made her an offer. She could sell HIM the berries and thereby keep her job…giggle. And Lynn did just that! Jenny will remember Lynn Montanus, Jim’s secretary.

      Thanks for your great creative recipes. Love, Grandma Marlene

        Hi Grandma Marlene! So glad this brought back some fun memories of Grandpa Jim and his raspberries!! I’m with him; they are such a delicious treat!

        Too funny about the offer he made Lynn! A good business move for her :-)!

        Love,
        Lizzie
