Guacamole, while delicious, isn’t the only way to enjoy this popular fruit. Avocados are native to Mexico and, although botanically classified as a fruit, they are savory and most often treated like a vegetable. Technically, guacamole could be considered a fruit salad, but that doesn’t quite feel right.
Avocados are a powerful source of key nutrients, including healthy fats and fiber. They also have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties and are believed to help reduce the risk of heart disease. Interestingly, I’m currently living part of the year in Mexico where avocados are abundant, but it took me two days of searching to find a ripe one – quite the surprise!

For this recipe, I used one of my favorite strains from Pruf Cultivar in Oregon. I infused an ounce of Dark Star into two cups of good-quality olive oil. Often, I just drizzle the oil over salads or pizza, so using top-quality oil is important.
I combined the infused oil with mashed avocado, which virtually eliminates any cannabis taste. Some people enjoy the flavor, while for others it’s a complete turnoff. I’m on the fence – it really
depends on the dish. Avocado works well, but peach cobbler, not so much. Also, different strains have distinct tastes. If you are embarking on a cooking with cannabis journey, you’ll discover the very different flavor profiles of the many unique strains. Enjoy the voyage.
