I just joined this delicious sounding challenge! I LOVE avocados & was raised in Santa Barbara county where many commercial avocados are grown.
Please post pictures of your best avocado meals to inspire & delight during this December challenge...

    Ditto. Already up to three small avocados at 1pm (Eastern Australia) on Wed Dec 2.
    I love avocado on toast/bread and as my "butter" on salad rolls

    I don't have any pics but I eat avocados every single day.They're in season here at the moment and are "cheap" at $2.50 each. I dread to think how much they are going to cost in winter....

    Yes! I eat them almost every day. My mother always told every one to feed their babies avos... It was my first solid food.

    I just cut them and eat them. And it's not hard for me to eat 3 at a time. We have some good deals here in CA at $1.50 each.

    Here's tonight's dinner! Sorry for the harsh lighting... Turkey taco salad. Mmm.
    The avos are kind of hard to see amidst all the other veg. mwb2lauqbcns.jpeg
    Ground turkey with spices, homemade Mexican mayacoba beans, some cheddar, oven baked tortilla chips and a creamy cilantro and tomatillo ranch dressing I make from scratch.

    Old recipe for "Fusion Avocado" is so good. Halve the avocado and remove pit. Score the avocado, then drizzle soy sauce over and eat with a spoon. Use 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of soy sauce.

    Some guys I grew up with do that! Only they add a squeeze of lemon with the soy! That is truly delicious...

    The citrus & soy together make sort of a fresh ponzu sauce...

    I didn't know this challenge was a thing. I had been on a kick where I was making one of my favoritest (this should totally be a word) foods in the whole world... egg salad where you replace the mayo with avocado. Just smush the hard boiled eggs together with the avo. I had it for a few days running there for a while.

    The humble avocado toast with fresh tomato. I use a little fresh lime juice and salt and pepper with half an avocado for 2 pieces of toast. Great little lunch!

    I don't know why they would close it... Maybe send a query to admin? They get back pretty quick.
    Tonight I made my favorite winter salad: butter lettuce with avo slices & pink grapefruit sections. Pretty & delicious! qf54ldsgybx7.jpeg
