Summer is finally around the corner, and we couldn’t be happier. Long days outside, picnics in the park and evenings sipping cocktails on the terrace - bliss. And here at Avocaderia, we’ve got something super exciting to boost those sunny days; the introduction of ‘Summer Fridays’.
‘Summer Fridays’ are our way of bringing a dash of avo-goodness to your TGIF vibes. Thanks to the awesome lot at Mission Produce, in partnership with Nasdaq, we’re offering a tasty $7 off of all online orders every Friday from June 18 right on through to the end of August. Sweet deal, right?
In celebration, we’re kicking off the #AVOccassions series on our blog; an opportunity to shine a light on the many ways you can fill your summer with endless avocado fuelled experiences.
First up… It’s the backyard gathering.
How to host the perfect backyard gathering.

We don’t know about you, but we have seriously missed the simplicity and connection of a good backyard gathering. Whether it’s for a birthday, an anniversary, a baby shower or just a weekend get together, we’ve come to appreciate these special moments more than ever before.
Plus, they’re the perfect opportunity to celebrate an #AVOccassion.
So, next time you host a backyard gathering, make sure these guac-tastic treats are on the menu.
For a nibble on the go - Avocado, basil, cucumber bites.

They do what they say on the tin - if you’re bored of handing out cocktail sausages on flimsy sticks, why not opt for this deliciously creamy alternative?
You can stack the bites up as high as you want with whatever flavours take your fancy… Spot of mozzarella, anyone?
For the ‘DAMN that's good’ response - Crispy baked avocado fries with chipotle dip.

Don’t mind us, we’re just drooling over here.
No backyard gathering table is complete without a tray of avocado fries. We love these ones because the chipotle dip is the icing on top of the cake - the smooth taste of the avo with the fiery bite of the dressing? We’re sold.
For a bit of something fancy - The avocado tapas tray.

Variety is the spice of life, and we can’t get enough of these four avocado tapas options.
They’re all easy and quick to make (you can whip up all four in ten minutes) and look pretty fancy, don’t you think? Lay them out on mini plates so that your guests can taste the whole set, or pop them on your food and drinks table for people to dip in and out of.
For the cool down - Avocado mint tequila pops.

Uh huh - you read that right.
These ice pops are criminally good… Unbeatable freshness packed in with that added kick. Pull these out as the summer sun starts to beat down into your backyard and watch as the guests flock over to you.
For the toast - Spicy mint avocado margarita.

It wouldn’t be a backyard gathering without a juicy cocktail to toast the day - say hello to the spicy mint avocado margarita.
The silky texture of the avo adds a real ‘je ne sais quoi’ to this beloved cocktail. We’re massive fans (and recommend going heavy on the mint!).
For the end of night nibble - The avo toast board.

This divine avocado toast board sums up why we love avocados so much. It’s mouthwatering. It’s decadent. It’s nutritional.
It is - in a word - epic.
Close your perfect backyard gathering by whipping out these luscious boards. We’re certain that there won’t be a crumb left.
So, how do I get involved in ‘Summer Fridays’?
