    i tried avocado on toast today... I thought it was ok... my avocado had a dark yellowish brown tint to it with very little green... it didn't look right but still don't know exactly what is supposed to look like.

    Are you talking about the interior flesh or the outer skin?

    A little salt and pepper go a long way with bringing the flavor out of an avocado. It can taste bland if not. The creamy texture adds to smoothies too

    Mashed with feta on sourdough. Topped with poached egg is extra good.

    I use avocado in my tuna, chicken and egg salad, I make avocado salsa to go over fish and cilantro lime chicken, guacamole is our favorite snack food and we also put it on homemade kale turkey burgers, I make avocado baked eggs, eat them plain and chopped up with poached eggs on top, or some tuna, cherry tomatoes and cheese. I also make a Mexican soup that I add avocado to, also a paste to add to pasta or zucchini zoodles to make them creamy, the list goes on. Avocado is my go to food. They also go really nice with Mexican baked eggs, so good.

    I like making avocado egg salad. I use a pastry blender (or you could use a fork) to mash avocado and hard boiled eggs together add a squeeze of lemon juice while mashing. Stir in diced veggies and top with sriracha.

    I mash it up and add tuna with salt and pepper. Put that on a whole wheat English muffin with some fresh spinach. It's tasty, filling and nutritious.

    I like it in a sandwich with a fried egg or with tunafish.

    I would happily just slice one up and eat it to be honest. But I tend to put them sliced into burritos or fajitas instead of guacamole, or I have them mashed on wholemeal toast with a poached egg. Mmmm....

    Pick avocados green and have them ripen at home. When they are dark then they should be ready. Picking ripe avocados at the store can be tricky. People like to squeeze them for ripeness which ruins them.

    This sounds incredible.
