Grilled avocados with mezcal and lime dressing

Avocados trees grow all over California and their fruits are a big part of everyday meals. Grilling them deepens the flavor, while dousing them in a perfumed mezcal and lime dressing is divine. Next time you make guacamole, try charring the avocados on the grill before mashing them.
