Avocado?

Keto_T

i LOVE avocado plain with a little salt or my El Savadorian neighbors put it in a their fresh salsa (tomatoes, peppers, onion, cilantro maybe(?), lime) I cant remember all ingredients but you get the gist.

I eat it plain, but it's also good on sandwiches.

I love avocado. I eat it plain. Sliced on top of salads and or sandwiches. I blend it up with greek yogurt for a mayo substitute. My latest favorite side is avocado, mango, cilantro salsa. I put it on top of chicken, fish or just eat it with tortilla chips. I also make a avocado, cucumber, watermelon, feta salad.

I have recently feel in like with avocados. I added it to my veggie burger with large slices of tomatoes. I absolutely loved it. I have also been eating it with black beans, sliced avocados and salsa over eggs. with a side of light sour cream. Yum-O

I love Avocado sliced with lemon juice and a touch of salt and/or pepper

you can put them in a salad, or just slice and eat. As for guacamole, I now use it as a mayonnaise spread instead of mayo. Gives the sandwiches a whole new twist.

I use it a substitution for mayo on sandwhiches

I spread some avocado on bread and use it in place of mayo for sandwiches ... or cut slices of it and put it ontop of eggs, chop them up in salads, and I've also heard of people baking with smashed avocados instead of using oil. I've never tried one of those recipes though



As for what to look for with fruits, I've always just went for what looks good or whats on sale ... and picking fruits that are in season is always a good go-to rule .. they will be the freshest.

I LOVE avocado and will put it on sandwiches and burgers instead of mayo. I think it really compliments turkey sandwiches the best. Or if on a burger, try it with a black bean salsa on top too. Fiesta! SOOOO good that way. It's also great just sliced up and thrown on top a salad. And of course guac.

stacetherainbow

I want that sandwich!!

but anyway... I like them sliced with lime juice and salt!

I like them cut up on salads and Mellow Mushroom has an avocado hoagie which is awesome!! Has avocado and sprouts on a hoagie roll. Cannot remember what else is on it, yummm...

I LOVE avocados!! The 2 ways I eat them are:

1. Mash up avocado with some EVOO, pinch of salt, squeeze of lime and some red pepper flakes and put that on sprouted grain toast.

2. Mash up an avocado with some raw cacao and honey, put in the fridge for half an hour and ta-da - delicious, creamy, dreamy chocolate avocado mousse! It's so delicious... so, so, SO very worth trying!!!

I also have a breakfast recipe I really like.

-Slice up a sweet onion and set the rings in a pan.
-whip up some egg as if making scrambled
-fill the onion rings with the egg
-spinkle on some cheese, cilantro
-cook thoroughly
-plate and top with avocado chunks and hot sauce and/or pico de gallo.
-yum

Sounds delish, I want to try the eggs for breakfast this weekend!

junejadesky

I eat them on everything! Salads, sandwhichs, burgers, with chicken, with eggs, in pasta, sometimes I'll just cut one in half and eat it right out of the skin with crackers. I even replace the mayo with avocado in deviled eggs.... amazoid fruit!!

cut up in cubes with cut up tomato diced to about same size as the avocado. Simple and the tomato acidity is a nice compliment to the avocado. Bright, light and refreshing esp. on hot summer days. Sometimes I add mozzerella cubes to it.

I'm a bit of a grill nut and I found this online somewhere... tried it and oh is it good as a side dish or even by itself!

GRILLED AVOCADO:

-Avocados
-Olive oil, vegatble oil (or cooking spray..I use the Pam Olive oil spray)
-Lime juice, fresh or bottled
-Your favorite salsa
-Shredded cheese..cheddar or jack..basically anything Mexican-y (I use Sargento reduced fat mexican)
-Salt


Firstly, fire up the grill to medium heat. If you can get perfectly ripe Avocados that is good, but even a little underripe works well. Overripe ones tend to be too mushy when cooked. Start by cutting it in half the long way, scoop out the pit and then carefully scoop the whole halves out of the shell. Then you want to rub a little oil all over each half, or spray them with the cooking spray. You don't need a lot at all..this is just for non-stick purposes. Rub some lime juice all over each half, then lightly salt the cut side with the hole of each half. Have your salsa and shredded cheese close by. Throw each half of the avocado on the grill CUT/SALTED SIDE DOWN. There is no real set time for this. I usually go about 5 minutes or less on this side. The longer you grill them, the more charred on the surface and soft on the inside they get so use your own discretion and trial and error. Then you flip them over so the side with the hole is up. Quickly fill the holes (giggity) with the salsa in the holes and then top each half with the cheese...I usually use about a TBSP of salsa and cheese for each half. Grill for a couple minutes to let the cheese melt and get some nice grill marks on the bottom. Then you are done! Tip: the avocado's can be slippery and a little on the soft side after some time on the grill so use a good pair of tongs and don't squeeze to hard!

A little higher in calories obviously (avocado's are in general) but one is great as a side with some fish or chicken and some rice, or just eat a couple on their own as a meal. Hope you all enjoy!

Avocado makes a really good breakfast - mash one with the juice of half a lemon and some salt and pepper, then spread on wholegrain toast. Keeps you full until lunch and is delicious.

I had avocado today.
Avocado salsa.
Avocado, chilli, capsicum, lemon, lime, salt, pepper, tomato.
with toasted mission wrap bread.for dipping -relives the moment-

I love avocado as well. Great on either chicken sandwich, turkey burger or even on a tuna salad sandwich. Just have to be careful how much avocado you eat. I usually have 1/4 of one each day, although it's a good fat you can eat too much of a good thing. They turn brown really fast after cutting, so I always squirt a good amount of lime juice on the leftover portion and turn it upside down in a container and store it in the refrigerator (lasts about 3 days this way).

I am starting to try new fruits and veggies. I was wondering what you do with avocado or how you eat it? The only way I have ever eaten avocado is in guacamole. Also any tips on picking good fruit and veggies at the store?

Thanks

sliced up and with a fork
on burgers
in salads
feta, avocado, tomato, cucumber, red onion extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar salt and pepper
on a slice of bread
with pepper on triscuits

they brown very easily - so douse with lemon/lime juice to keep from turning. i like to buy them when they are rock hard so i can have during the week. if i know i'm going to use it right away i buy one that's soft to the touch but not mushy.
