Turn On Your Grill! Time to make Grilled Avocados with Queso Fresco Salad
Have you started your summer grilling yet? We have! And we are getting creative by using all the produce and ingredients the season has to offer.
Part of our commitment to summer grilling is the preparation of new, better-for-you dishes anyone can prepare time and time again. Those dishes mush include fresh ingredients and the preparation must be easy and fuss free. Something everyone will love and an addition to our futur summer menus.
Seasoning is very important. One must select the product that compliments your dish but must be careful of any added artificial ingredients, colors or preservatives. The secret ingredient I use to give my Latin dishes that special flavor is Knorr Selects Bouillon. Not only does it NOT contain artificial flavors, artificial colors, artificial preservatives, it also does not contain MSG.
Knorr Selects Bouillon is very versatile. I was able to use it to flavor the avocados as they grilled and I also included it in the queso fresco salad. During the winter time, it’s perfect for soups and stews too.

Summertime is a very special time in our home. We clean our back yard picnic table early on to enjoy meals with a warm summer breeze under the shade. It’s nice to sit and enjoy a meal in the outdoors with no distractions and a simple conversations that keep our family bond strong.
I was able to find my Knorr Selects Chicken Flavor Bouillon at my local Ralph’s grocery store. From now until July 11, 2019, you can get $0.75 off your Knorr Selects Bouillon of your choice.
So get grilling! Summer is here! Time for family, fun and delicious food for all to enjoy!
