A: While avocado is a key ingredient in many of these recipes, you could try substituting it with something like hummus, mashed peas, or even coconut cream if you want to achieve a similar creamy texture.
Q: How long will the avocado-based dishes last once prepared?
A: The longevity of each dish may vary depending on the recipe and storage method used. Generally speaking, dishes that contain chopped avocados should be consumed within 24 hours to avoid browning and loss of quality. Pureed or blended dishes may hold up slightly longer but should still be stored in an airtight container in the fridge if not eaten right away.
