Paletas de Fresa y Aguacate

Paletas de Fresa y Aguacate

I have been enjoying loads of avocados on my salad with vibrant drizzles of fresh strawberry dressing lately.

The Texas temperatures are slowly creeping up, up, up and some days a big ole salad is all you crave.

I thought why not combine the two, pour them into little cups and freeze’em for a cool after dinner treat.

They.
