Calling all chefs and avocado lovers.

Avocados are truly one of natures perfect foods. Healthy, delicious and versatile...what more could you want? From tried and true guacamole to avocado brownies (yes, that's really a thing!), avocados can be used in dishes spanning many ethnicities and styles. Our favorite way to eat them is to cut an avocado in half, remove the pit, sprinkle each side with smoked sea salt and enjoy.

This month, our friends at the California Avocado Commission are featuring a contest that is open to chefs in the United States that are over 18 years old. You have until September 30, so start thinking about a delicious, unique recipe showcasing the avocado and enter it here.  Also be sure you are camera ready since they require a video submission as well. Even if you don't win, your video will be showcased on You Tube. And if you are the winner you will be $2,500 richer. Not too shabby.

As I mentioned earlier, our smoked sea salts are the perfect compliment to the cool, creamy taste of avocado. Go with a hickory salt for heartier BBQ recipes or one of our fruit smoked salts for the perfect mix of sweet and savory. Check them all out here.

Good luck to all the chefs that enter!
