Avocados are one of my favorite foods. They are so versatile and can be used in soups, salads, entrees and even desserts! They are healthy too, providing fiber, potassium, and vitamins C,K, folate, and B6.  When I was challenged to create a recipe using avocados that could be anything but guacamole, I adapted a favorite seafood salad and added avocado instead of mayo. We enjoy a spicy flavor so I added Cayenne pepper, but you can adjust the pepper to taste.
