    I eat it with my meat in place of sauces. I think it's delicious with pork loin! And I eat it straight with a spoon!

    I add it to my egg salad. Makes it even creamier. Sometimes I substitute the mayo for greek yogurt too.

    My two faves:

    1) cut in half, remove pit, fill w/ tuna salad, chicken salad, etc. Awesome meal!
    2) as a salad, cut in half, remove pit, and pour in your favorite vinaigrette.

    Instead of using mayonnaise to make tuna salad, egg salad, or chicken salad, I use avocado. So much creamier than using mayo!

    Linguine with Guacamole = pretty good! It is a little higher in calories, but I used 4 oz linguine instead of the 6 oz it calls for (2 oz is usually plenty for me when it comes to pasta) so it was under 400 for a single serving per the recipe thingee on here.

    Also, I recently found (but haven't tried yet) a good looking recipe for chicken salad where you use avocado instead of the mayo. That sounds good to me. I could eat 4-5 avocados a day if I let myself. Love those things...

    I make what my kids call "Fiesta Salad" - 2 semi firm but ripe avacados diced - 1 can of black beans rinsed and drained - 1 c frozen corn - 2 diced roma tomatoes - 2 tsp lime juice - McCormick Guacamole seasoning. Mix it up and let it meld for an hour or so. Really good on Taco Salad.

    Avocado salas: Tomatoes, Onion & Avocado cut all up in bit size pieces mix with a little olive oil & lemon or lime juice (whichever you prefer). Put on top of grilled chicken with some brown rice, very yummy and filling.

    I also add it to my turkey sandwiches instead of cheese, and hummus instead of dressing if I need to add a few more calories.

    Personally, I can't stand palta... It is one of the few foods that automatically triggers my gag reflex.

    Though, I have heard that putting the seeds in shakes can help lower cholesterol.

    I just scoop out pieces and put it on sub sandwiches (instead of Mayo/dressing, etc).

    I've eaten avocado mousse as dessert. I don't know what else was in it though, but it was tasty!

    I usually eat it as sandiwch spread with pepper or in salads.
