    If you don't like them, I wouldn't work too hard at it....you can get the healthy fats other ways and they are pretty calorie dense.

    That being said...they are awesome all of the ways above but I went back to an old recipe that my Gram used to make a long time ago...

    dice one avocado
    section 2 Ruby Red grapefruits (I try to pour off the juice for something else)

    mix and enjoy...you could have it on spinach or some other lettuce but it is an awesome salad just like that! A wierd combination that tastes soooooooo good together!

    I substitute some seasoned (salt & pepper) smashed avocado for ham in my egg's Benedict. It's VERY good and you can hardly taste it with the hollandaise sauce. I also put some in sandwiches, I usually add bacon in my sandwich with the avocado, so you won't taste it much.

    don't force yourself to eat avocado if you don't like them?

    Otherwise, the first obvious thing would be guacamole.

    Avocado toast!! I cant stand Avocado by itself but on toast is awesome. Also, I add avocado in my salads with chicken and crutons but only lime juice instead of dressing. Awesome salad!

    This isn't the best idea, but I got a recipe in my email this morning for bacon wrapped avocado.
    They are sliced into wedges, and wrapped in a piece of bacon then sprinkled with ancho chile powder, cumin & salt (I think I would omit the salt, as bacon is pretty salty, and use black pepper instead, but you could probably use any spice you like). Place on a parchment lined baking sheet, and cook 15-20 min in a 450 degree oven. Place on a paper towel lined plate. Serve warm or at room temperature. I may just make these for the Super Bowl party. Not a low calorie dish though, but everything is better with bacon.

    This has avocado. I really liked it! Making it again today but with less avocado, some lean ham, and a tablespoon of sugar.

    I don't like it either - I thought I was the only one. I'll eat guacamole, but that's about it.

    I do "force" myself to eat a few foods simply because they are good for me, but with avocado being as calorie dense as it is I'm kind of glad I don't like it

    definitely guacamole! Mash your avocado, add fresh lime juice, crushed fresh garlic, diced onion, a dash of hot sauce and cut up tomato or fresh salsa. Also eat it straight with salsa......I always eat my avocado with some form of acid, lemon, lime, balsamic vinegar or salsa.

    I love it! make a salad with shrimp, and a low cal,French dressing,or a dressing that you like. A sprinkle of salt and pepper makes it taste all the much better.
