I've never eaten an avocado in my life and I recently bought one. So I was wondering what would be the best and yummiest ways to try it out?

    well, I really like it with eggs. Scramble up some eggs, cut an avocado in half, salt it a bit, and eat together.

    Cut it in half, remove the pit, lightly salt it, eat with spoon or fork.


    Seriously legit just like that.

    I used to be scared of them but now I absolutely love them.

    On anything!

    Dice it up and put it on eggs, or in a wrap/sandwich, on tacos, in a quinoa bowl, i eat it with everything.

    I like to use it in a lot of different ways.

    With my morning eggs, cubed on salad, cubed and mixed with pasta but my favorite way is as a mayo replacement. I mash it up, add a little salt and then spread on bread/tortilla.

    Thinly sliced and added to sandwiches are good too.

    They are delicious with a shake of onion salt and some pepper. :)


    They are amazing in guacamole. I also use them mashed in place of mayo for chicken salad sandwich (with green onion, fresh cilantro, and lime juice - OMG - sooooo yummy!)

    My favorite way is cubed in a bowl of black bean soup with low fat sour cream and salsa.

    All of the above LOL!!! I love them. I will glady come help you eat yours :happy:

    I dice them up and put them on and in everything - soup, salad, sandwiches, eggs, guacamole (which I don't make often due to the chips :wink: ), and scoop it straight out of the shell and devour!! (In fact I usually buy at least one extra than what i think I will need because I know I will be "taste testing" that baby along the way!!!!)

    They're my favourite!
    Mashed into guacamole with coriander, in salad, I also use it mashed instead of butter, and my favourite is an avocado sandwich - toasted granary bread with slices of avo a little salt and pepper and maybe a tiny squeeze of lemon juice!

    Bumping to get some ideas as well....I have eaten them once and just peeled off the leaves and dipped them in garlic butter and suck off the bottom end. I believe that is how we did it...lol Maybe not the healthiest way to eat it but It was good though!!:happy:

    I like mine mashed up and mixed with onion and garlic powder on a tuna sandwich with tomatoes, onions, and spinach.

    Best way is to give that fat-stick to someone else.

    Sorry - venting - I used to be a cook waaay back in the day and made tons of guacamole...still hate the fruit.

    I think you are talking about an artichoke, not an avocado.
