    I'm going to try one on Friday. On a salad do/ can I slice it? Or use it as a dressing additive?

    I like it best with salt.

    I made this the other day: http://penniesonaplatter.com/2012/03/19/avocado-chocolate-pudding/

    I personally didn't like it as it was sweet and I'm just so used to avocados being salty. I don't like them sweet.

    I make an avacado pasta that knocks my socks off :)

    Scoop out the insides of two avacados
    place in a blender/food processor
    add a couple tea or tablespoons of olive oil (to your taste)
    Juice from 1/2 a lemon
    a couple cloves of garlic
    blend until most of the chunks are gone.

    Gently toss with hot angel hair pasta. Garnish with a bit of lemon zest. Enjoy!

    Does not reheat well. A yummy alternative to fatty alfredo sauce.

    avocado on toast with a fried egg on top!
    avocado and cheese and crackers
    avocado and goat cheese on toast
    guacamole!!!!
    cut into slices with salt and pepper
    used like mayo in a turkey sandwich

    My mother's friend made this delicious salad of red quinoa, walnuts, dried cranberries and avocado served over lettuce. Apparently it was a Dr. Oz recipe but I haven't been able to find it to see if I'm missing any ingredients. I ate it with Brianna's poppy seed dressing and it was awesome.

    Sliced avocado is great in sandwiches, or you could make a little "taco salad" with black beans, corn, romaine, lowfat "taco mix" cheese, tomatoes, diced avocado and lime, or it's great in sushi, on a burger...oh avocado...so tasty!
