    I make my own avocado concoction that my hubby dubbed "guacasalsa" -- put half an avocado in a bowl, cover with salsa, and mash to your heart's content. I eat it with tortilla chips or just by itself with a spoon. Mmmmmmm... Now I want some! I also love avos plain with some salt and pepper, in guacamole, or on sandwiches instead of sauce like mayo. Avocados are the best! <3

    Cut it in half and remove the pit. Put the halves into a bowl, lightly salt it, and eat that mofo with a fork.

    ^^^This^^^ I would even omit the salt :bigsmile:

    Some yummy ideas!

    I like to mash an avocado with lime juice and tabasco sauce and use it instead of mayo with mashed eggs. That's what I'm having with my lunch tomorrow.

    For dinner tomorrow I'm going to mix it with a tin of tuna.

    Hmmm I lurrrrve avocado.

    Eat it for a snack...cut it in half, remove the seed and eat right out of the shell with a spoon. I add a tiny bit of sea salt...It is an acquired taste, but a great food source.

    You can also mash with a little plain yogurt and use for a dressing on your salads,

    And there is always mashing, add a dash of salt, a small amount of cilantro, a little diced onion, and diced tomatoes and a juice of 1/2 lime. Eat with tortilla chips for a snack, but watch the number of chips you eat. Make sure they are baked and not fried and eat only the recommended serving.

    honestly, i try to like it, but i like it better when it is served to me and i don't have to prepare it

    i find that i often eat them too ripe

    or make a nice guacamole

    or on a sandwhich...with egg it is good

    You can also eat it with Crispy Romaine Lettuce Leaves instead of chips :):)

    LOVE LOVE LOVE avocados! Of course guacomole, but I also found a avocado soup recipe I am going to try soon. And then for salads or alone you just cut it into little cubes and add a little pepper and if you want salt. Delicious.

    I put it in scrambled eggs. After the eggs are browned, I put in a cut up avocado, scramble it and brown it.

    Avocado...YUM. I really like to slice it in half, remove the pit, cut shallow lines in each half, squeeze lime juice all over it, sprinkle it with parmesan cheese and put it under the broiler until the cheese has browned. Such a creamy and delicious side for any meal!

    I mean, eat it, obviously. But I've never had one before. Do I eat it raw? Steam it? I keep reading how people love them. How do you eat yours?

    With a spoon, of course. Cut it in half. Remove the seed. Sprinkle salt. Start taking bites.

    BTW to remove the seed, whack it with a knife and twist - seed pops right out.

    I eat them raw mmmm or in tortillas or with egg salad in a tortilla, on tacos, in salads..also, if you want to get really CREATIVE. Make this for when your craving chocolate!

    CHOCOLATE AVOCADO MOUSSE:
    1 full ripe avocado
    1 table spoon vanilla or chocolate whey protein powder (optional)
    1 table spoon chocolate syup I use dark chocolate sugar free or cocoa powder
    mix and mash it all up mix it good and put it in the fridge for about an hour. mix it up again before you eat it and you would NEVER know it had avocado in it as you cant taste it and its healthy for you. :)

    You name it I eat it with avocado. On a sammy, in salad, on w/ tuna, salmon, plain....ect.
    I <3 cut it in half, remove the pit crack and egg in the pit hole and bake (in a dish) for 20ish min. pepper, chipotle pepper, and yum-o! The real question is what CAN'T you do with avocado ;)
