Azul’s Chef Steve can often be found digging in the bins at local markets, gently squeezing here and there to find the perfect avocados for his delicious guacamole. Not only does this amazing fruit (yes, avocado is officially a fruit, not a vegetable) add a delicious, creamy flavor to dishes, but it contributes “good fats,” along with nearly 20 vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients to a healthy diet.

Trust Chef Steve to find the perfect avocados to include in the dishes that he carefully prepares for you.
