Tonight I am blogging about the SuperFood Avocado! Usually I just chop it up and put it on salads, or make guacamole, but I wanted to do something different. I saw this recipe on Kelly's blog, originally by Ingrid Hoffman of Food Network.
The fries have delicious flavor, and the avocado dipping sauce was superb! I changed it a bit by subbing yogurt to make it low fat/cal. JJ absolutely loved it, and we'll definitely be using it as a sandwich spread and dip.
I served it with Mango Chicken Sausage from TJ's and broccoli because I loaded up last week - it was on sale :)

Oh man, I love sweet potato fries. I mean, they are one of my favorite foods by far. But, having them with avocado dipping sauce? Now, that just sounds divine!
You have just combined two of my favorite foods. Which also happen to both be superfoods. How can you go wrong?
The avocado dipping sauce sounds like a fantastic condiment for your fries! I love avocado and I'm sure I'd gobble this up!
Love the avocado dip! Just made some and had it for a snack. So good! I will have to try it with sweet potato fries now!
Thank you for the fantastic recipe. I wish I had more recipes I can experiment with acai berry juice because I happen to be a huge fan of acai berry juice.
