Irvine, CA (July 2008) - This season, add Fresh Hass Avocados to the promotion playbook and go for the touchdown with avocado menu items. From QSR to fine dining, breakfast or late-night snacks, operators are discovering that Fresh Hass Avocados add that extra twist to go from ordinary to extraordinary. The smooth, creamy texture and subtle nutty flavor is great in sandwiches and salads, soups and entrees.

For an unexpected play, serve up an Avocado Salad Flatbread Sandwich, a combination salad-sandwich with chopped hearts of romaine leaves, dried tomato, diced Fresh Hass Avocados and sweet onion, garlic, olive oil, white wine vinegar and Romano cheese served on flatbread.

Go the extra yards and plan a Fresh Hass Avocados menu this football season. From pizzas to hearty sandwiches to exciting guacamole dips, contact the Hass Avocado Board at 1-800-370-3782 for your free copy of the Foodservice Promotion Guide for Fresh Hass Avocados.
