He\u2019s suave and sophisticated, a Bond dad, if you will. He\u2019s quirky and crazy, and invented bad dad jokes. He\u2019s fit and fab, and had you riding a bike before you could even walk. He\u2019s your dad and it\u2019s time to spoil him with a little something special this Father\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n

\n

Nothing says \u2018thanks\u2019 quite like a home-cooked meal. For this we present the ultimate in go-to ingredients: the mighty South African avo.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Whether your dad\u2019s a lean green health-mad machine or believes \u2018meat is meat and a man must eat\u2019, adding an avo to his Sunday lunch is the Father\u2019s Day gift that keeps on giving. Not only are avos delicious and add a luxurious touch to even the plainest of meals, but they\u2019re also nutritious, and add health benefits for dad too.<\/p>\n

Avos are high in copper, a source of fibre and contain antioxidants. This potent combination helps to support dad\u2019s immune system function. This is true for all types of avos, from the buttery, creamy green-skinned avo varieties to the nutty dark-skinned avos.<\/p>\n

Luckily for us (and dads across South Africa!) Father\u2019s Day falls in peak avo season, making it really easy to add some gorgeous green deliciousness to your Dad\u2019s Day dishes.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s no end to the versatility of avos, but this year our star recipe is quick and easy T-bone steak topped with avo. Don\u2019t forget to serve his steak with pap and sheba. If dad\u2019s a plant-based eater, you can\u2019t go wrong with warm salads, Buddha bowls and veg bakes starring ripe and ready avos.<\/p>\n

\n

So, no matter what you\u2019re cooking up for dad this year, make sure you add an avo to his Father\u2019s Day feast.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
