Does anyone have any ideas on what recipes (other than guacamole) to do with avocados?

I've only eaten them raw and in a dip/salsa, but I would like to try something new.

    I use them on sandwiches and turkey burgers. Better than cheese :)

    I like to make a side salad. Dice up some avocados and a fresh tomato, put in a bowl. Add some lime juice, salt, pepper and some cilantro if you have some. It make a great side salad. You can dice it smaller to put over fish or on a taco.

    My fiancé discovered the other day that they make an excellent portable dip for tortilla chips.

    Cut avocado in half, use it like a bowl and scoop it out!

    I love eating them in salads, sandwiches or wraps. They spread really nicely, too.

    I had it as a side, actually...but you can use as a topping or in sandwiches and wraps or whatever :)

    I use them to make California chicken. Grill your chicken breast, then top it with a slice of tomato, slice of avocado, and then a slice of reduced fat swiss cheese. Bake in the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly. So good!

    I make a citrus and black bean salad with avocado in it.

    1 can black beans
    1 orange, peeled and diced
    1 grapefruit, peeled and diced
    1/4 red onion, diced
    1 avocado, diced
    1/4 cup cilantro
    1 tbsp olive oil
    juice from one lime
    dash of pepper

    Whisk the olive oil, lime juice, and pepper together. Set aside. Combine all other ingredients in a bowl. Pour olive oil lime juice mixture over top. Mix well. Chill in fridge for 30 minutes. Eat and enjoy! :drinker:

    My favorite way to eat them (other than guacamole) is on a burger, in a wrap, in a salad, or raw with some pita bread.

    They are very nice sliced in a sandwich with alfalfa shoots, or mixed with cottage cheese on toast or in a baked potato.

    I love avacados on my turkey sandwhiches & chicken burgers but i also make a salad with them that is really good & really healthy.

    Fill a plate full of fresh spinach, add some thinly sliced red onions, half a mango cut up into bite sized pieces (frozen or canned pieces could be used out of season) , half an avacado sliced into small pieces, 1 baked chicken breast chopped into bite sized pieces & then topped with lite house balsamic vinegarette dressing. Yummy!

    This is really simple, but delish. Slice them and have them on a turkey sandwich. Very tasty.

    :wink: I got this recipe from a great youtube guru, Irisvlogging! Dice one whole tomato, one avocado, add some salsa and honey mustard. Mix well and eat immediately! This is a great refreshing salad for lunch and a great way to eat avocados!

    Just take out the stone, and fill with a low fat Prawn cocktail. It's delicious.

    Cut up in an omelet, on a grilled cheese sandwich. They actually can be good in a warm food like that.

    Wow! Thanks!

    I posted this thread, left for about 10 minutes and had 16 replies.

    I guess that avocado is more versatile than I've given it credit for!

    Hmmm.

    I'm liking the omelette idea, but adding some onion, garlic and goat cheese to the mix.
