    I can eat it with anything.. P.S. don't keep it in the fridge, you want it to ripen!

    I mix mine with tuna. It takes the place of mayo and is WAY better for you. Its an amazing lunch.1 avocado, 1 80 cal pack of tuna, small knife, and a bowl, salt and pepper. You dont have to put in fridge. Its fast easy and GOOD!!!!!

    I have yet to try this but saw a suggestion for toasting it in the oven with parmesan cheese and tobasco sauce. I'd probably skip the tobasco but the cheese sounds delicious! Otherwise I've used it instead of butter and made delicious thin bread toast w/ham on top for breakfast. Also, I put it on top of my garden burgers, and add it to my salad.

    question: why are you keeping it in the fridge? Is it already cut or something? I always keep mine room temp.

    I was wondering the same thing.

    I love avocado. I've been using it instead of butter on my bread. Just spread it out.

    Avocado Toast

    2 slices of multi-grain bread
    1 avocado cut in half
    1 lime, cut in half
    6 grape tomatoes cut into small rounds.
    olive oil
    kosher salt
    freshly ground pepper
    crushed red pepper flakes

    Toast the bread (butter if you like) and mash one half of the avocado on each slice of bread with a fork. Squeeze one half of the lime on each slice, top each half with the sliced tomatoes, add a pinch of red pepper flakes, salt & pepper to taste and a drizzle of olive oil.

    VERY tasty! Enjoy. :)

    Sadly my cats eat EVERYTHING left within their reach. You'd think they don't get fed or something. T_T

    With an on everything! I put it in my salads, my chili, I use it as a butter/mayo alternative I use it in pastas... I will puree it with black beans to make a paste/butter alternative that. I mix it with tuna... I eat it all the time.

    ok but can they get too soft?? I bought a pack of them at Costco and ended up putting them in the fridge after a couple of days b/c I was afraid they would get too ripe. How long can you keep them on the counter??

    I love it sliced on my salads.

    Also enjoy it on some whole wheat crackers.

    Fantastic smashed up on a veggie burger or turkey burger, or really...any kind of burger.

    That does sound delicious! And I have all of those ingredients! So thanks for the lunch idea! <3

    If I buy the CostCo pack, I put them ALL in the fridge except the one I plan to consume. When I am 1-2 days away from the next one, I take that one out and put it on the counter to "ripen". They should maintain nicely in the fridge for a few weeks that way.

    I never eat the whole thing at once. So I put the unused portion, with the pit still in it, in a sealed plastic bag back in the fridge and finish it in the next 2-3 days.

    My fav is to eat it plain with a small sprinkling of soy sauce.

    Guacamole - I eat it with a fork.

    BLOA - I eat this every single Saturday for lunch - Bacon/Lettuce/Onion/Avocado sandwich. Not bad with 1 serving bacon.

    Cubed avocado, with cubed strawberries or mangoes, drizzled with honey - I know it sounds weird, but I swear it's good.

    Plain chunks sprinkled with sea salt & a good Tuscan seasoning blend or hot sauce.

    Thank you for the tip!! That's what I'll do as well.
