    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! <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.

    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!!!!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    ^~~~ 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.

    cut up on a salad

    Sliced on a sandwich (with or without bread; sometimes I make roll ups with romaine, hummus, tomato, olives and avocado - yum)

    Sliced or diced over black beans; black bean soup; chili

    halved with salsa on top

    Diced with tomato and olives for a little "salad"
