Avocado. How do YOU eat it?

krisiepoo

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.

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

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.

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!

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

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.

daniellealys

on a salad is the best way IMO
I also like it with carrots, by itself, on chili, on chicken, ON ANYTHING

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.

Just sliced on a warm corn tortilla with some lime juice and a pinch of salt. Yummy!

Hadabetter

I eat it in place of where I'd normally put mayo.

shrinkydink_mg

Sliced in half, remove the stone. Poke the edible part all over with a fork. A little dash of salt & pepper, a squeeze of lime, and a dash of tabasco sauce. Sprinkle a little bit.....LITTLE BIT of cheddar or parmesan cheese on top....and broil in the oven!

NOM NOM NOM!!!!

With strawberries. I love this combination.

chubby_checkers

I like to make a salad: 1/2 an avocado, 1/4 c. of corn, 1/2 c. black beans, 1/4 c. of onion, and some tomato. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

MissJanet55

Stuff half an avocado with a tuna salad made with a little mayo and chopped cilantro, or a light shrimp salad. yummy.

I also love them cubed with a squeeze of lemon, a drizzle of soy sauce, some nice salt and sesame seeds. Add a little salt if you need it. So delish!

jj1973

I eat it in place of where I'd normally put mayo.

Me too! and with anything that has a mexican flair.

I like to add a little Tony Chachere's seasoning to it and put it on a salad in place of dressing.

I also like to mix it with cucumber and tomato with a light vinigarette dressing as a side salad. (Throw in some tony's for good measure!)

DO NOT try to mix it with chinese cuisine! Tried it...and ooohhh, yuk!

CalJur

Usually sandwich or taco.

Cassierocksalot

^~~~ This. I also use it in place of salad dressing. Or throw some bay shrimp salad in there. Or with a little tapatio. Oh how I love avocados.

lynaib

I like it plain old naked on a spoon

supahstar71

with salt and tapatio.

TheMoonMuse

Cucumber, chicken breast, and avocado sandwich on Eizekiel bread Just mash some up with a fork and spread it in place of mayo.

Lifting_Knitter

avocado, plum tomato and a stick of string cheese all mixed up together and a little salt. mmmm...

ericarae33

Mix with tuna instead of mayo!

laural007

I love just scooping it out with the spoon and adding a little salt....my kids usually steal it from me. Boogers :explode:

redraidergirl2009

sliced on toast with salt and pepper. In a salad in place of dressing, in mexican dishes, in wraps

Shadowknight137

Usually as guacamole.

But tonight... As a dark chocolate mousse/ice cream on top of frozen bananas. Omnomnom.

dollhousedolly

I like mine plain, in a sandwich, in a salad, in a wrap.. so many ways to enjoy it.
But I ate my last one yesterday

The tuna and avocado, I want to try that now!

lewcompton

Breakfast taco for breakfast, turkey sandwich at lunch, fajitas for dinner... there are so many ways to enjoy that little boost of avocado!

deadbambi

cut it in half, salt and pepper it, top it off with a handful of shrimp, and eat
