    Watch the amount of avocadoes that you consume, avocadoes are one of the fattest fruit in creation, who would have "thunk it."

    I like to spread it on a light rye cracker... or put little chunks into my salads... the only thing is they are high in calories and fat! but it's good fat!!!

    Yes, I love avocados!! YUMMMMMM. For awhile, when I had my Laughing Cow Light Swiss cheese I would use a cheese wedge and some mashed up avocado for a spread on my sandwiches instead of mayo. Mmmm - I'm droolin' now. I also mix it with a little salsa and use in if I want a "southwestern" style sandwich or wrap. And plain with a little salt - or diced with tomatoes, corn niblets, and some black beans with a little low fat dressing for a quick salad - you can add other things like diced purple onion and cucumber or radishes or whatever you have on hand. Have fun experimenting! :heart:

    When I was a kid, I used to like a dollop of mayo in the middle and just eat with a spoon. Now, I squeeze lemon juice on one, a little salt, and eat them like that. My problem is I eat at least 1/2 an avocado at a time because they get black when I leave them in the fridge, even covered with plastic wrap.

    I hate that! You know what I tried the other day and was surprised it worked?! I put a paper towel in the plastic bag..... There wasn't nearly as much discoloration. Plus, leaving the seed in helps also..... :smile:

    I just went to a family reunion this weekend and my aunt made an awesome Salmon Salad Avacado side dish for lunch. I'm not sure what she used in the salmon salad to prepare it, maybe some light mayo, seasonings and onions? Anyway, whatever it was she spooned it into half an avacado. Served cold, of course. Everyone thought it was either chicken salad or tuna salad, but nooo. It was super healthy salmon and was gooood! And, yes, avacados are the "good" fat...MUFAs!! :tongue:
