Holiday Avocado Stuffing
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Instead of falling back on the usual casserole, try an elegant twist with Holiday Avocado Stuffing to impress your guests. This colorful recipe combines traditional stuffing ingredients ­ onion, celery, stuffing mix -- with fresh avocados, an unexpected twist. Cooked avocado adds new dimension to conventional stuffing and its mild, nutty flavor becomes more prevalent when heated.
