    I like adding thick slices to grilled chicken wraps/sandwiches. No need for mayo/mustard!

    I think it's really nice blended up smooth (with fresh herbs, some citrus juice, garlic, etc) and tossed with whole wheat pasta and veggies. I've also blended it with laughing cow cheese and it's almost like a healthier version of alfredo sauce. Almost. :]

    LOVE AVOCADO! You can use it in so many things! I eat mine in salads, with grilled chicken, or just straight up. It's a great substitute for mayo on sandwiches....just as creamy and has good for you fats! :happy:

    I mash it up, add shredded chicken breast, a couple of green onions, some fresh cilantro, and lime juice - delish chicken salad! I put 1/2 cup in a pita, add a bunch of fresh veggies, and I've got a full lunch!

    5-6 oz Shredded chicken (I like to use rotisserie chicken without the skin)
    Half an avocado
    1 TB ranch dressing
    3 TB salsa

    Smush it all together. Eat with a fork, in a wrap, on top of lettuce as a salad. *drool*

    ON EVERYTHING! Or just eat it with a spoon, with a squeeze of lime.

    One of my favorites is on my fish tacos though. I sautee tilapia fillets in a non stick skillet, and then add some grated sharp cheddar, and some hot sauce, and break up the fish into a gooey chunky yummy mess. Pop it into a warmed mini tortilla, and top it with what is basically a simplified guacamole - diced avocado, diced tomato, diced red onion, lime juice, cilantro. It's fast, it's real food, it has protein, it has veggies, and you can do whole wheat tortillas to make it even healthier!

    I found out you can blend it into protein shakes and I tried it (although I was worried about the flavor). It thickened it up and I couldn't even taste it. Double win!

    Remove skin, slice in half the long way and remove pit. Break an egg in to each hollow where the pit was and bake until the egg is cooked to your liking. Yum!

    I found this on Pinterest:

    Avocado Hummus

    1. Add the following to your food processor:
    -1 can of white beans, drained and rinsed
    -1 avocado, cubed
    -juice from 1/2 of a lime
    -1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon of olive oil (a lower fat option: substitute oil for juice from the beans)
    -1/2 teaspoon sea salt
    -1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    2. Blend until smooth.... EASY AS THAT!
