I like it just mashed up then spread on a veggie sandwich! It makes the sandwich seems like it has "sauce" on it!!

avacado taco/burrito

mash up, if desired add some spices.
i usually cook a serving of brown rice to mix it
add in some green pepper sauce
maybe a little sour cream, salsa if desired. light and delicious!

I normally cut it in half, take the stone out and fill the hole half way with balsamic vinegar and a bit of salt. AMAZING!

One of my favourite meals:
1 avocado
half packet of lemon & coriander cous cous
good handful of rocket
1/4 tin of chick peas
Dash of olive oil
Dash of balsamic

Mix all together and eat. Its yum!

I like to cut them up and put a little salt on to eat. Sometimes a squirt of lemon.

Another way is to make a panini type sandwich with turkey, avocado by itself or blended with a little mayo, provolone cheese, spinach, etc. It's good on the George Forman grill.

Homemade guacamole is sooo good! I love it with homemade taquitos!

One of my favorite healthy recipe blogs is skinnytaste.com and she has, in the last few days, posted some avacado recipes.. Two that I can remember off the top of my head are a avacado buttermilk dressing and an avacado egg salad.. They both look delicious! I really love the blog, the author always puts all the nutritional info with the recipe.. she even has the current and old weight watchers point system included in that info.. It's a great blog with some pretty amazing recipes!

I have just added plain tuna on wheat for lunch. I was trying to think of something to put with it. Avocado, I never thought of that, but will give it a try.

I add Avacado and McCormick's guacamole seasoning mix to chicken salad. Can be eaten over lettuce leaves or whole grain bread.

This is the best alfredo I have had in a long time. If you are going low carb, use spaghetti squash instead.

I love her site, appreciate the reminder! That's exactly what came to mind when I saw the photo as well, swapping it up for spaghetti squash.

I love fresh avocado.

Vegetarian Avocado and Veggie Wrap:
fresh avocado
red, orange, and yellow sweet bell peppers
onion
garlic
red pepper
fresh spinach
lite cream cheese
low calorie/low carb tortilla

Sautee peppers, onion and garlic with olive oil spray
Spread about 1tbsp cream cheese on tortilla
Sprinkle red pepper over the cream cheese
add onion, peppers, avocado and spinach
wrap and eat!

One wrap is about 250 calories.

Your wrap idea sounds divine, I just finished off an avocado I purchased earlier in the week. Love those things but don't buy them often enough, this thread is full of wonderful tips!

Thanks everyone:drinker:

ETA: Also for those that have asked in the past here's something I found on the Haas Avo site:

"Trying to save that mashed or cut avocado but don’t have lemon or lime juice? Orange juice, grapefruit juice and vinegar can all help keep your cut avocado greener for longer. Just be sure to keep it in an air-tight container in the fridge."

I hadn't realized there were so many options!

cut avocado in half, & eat with sugar

A little extreme, but it makes a great raw pudding. Puree with agave, cocoa camino, coconut oil and vanilla, chill for a great vegan/raw treat.

I recently ate a chocolate truffle made from avocado. It was delicious.
