    I like mine mediterranean style, cut in half, remove pit, sprinkle each side with some sea salt and greek seasonings, fill each hole with feta cheese (Please don't buy low fat feta, barf.) And then drizzle some high quality olive oil over each of them and dig in with a fork. Yum. Optionally you can dice up some kalamata olives and throw that on top as well.

    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??

    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.

    OMG THANK YOU! I've been buying the Costco pack as well and keep cursing because they ripen so fast!! I didn't know you could put in the fridge to slow it down...lifesaver!

    right out of the shell with a spoon and the pit hole filled with salsa

    or take an egg and crack it into the pit hole and bake at 425 until the egg is how you like it done, top with whatever you like to top your eggs with and enjoy.

    Sometimes I just eat it right out of the skin, I love avocado so much!

    You can mash it up on toast, add it to brothy soups (like tortilla soup), mash it up and add black beans and put the stuff in a tortilla, put it in a protein smoothie (with milk, a little sweetener/sugar, vanilla whey, it's nice).

    Heck, I don't even get fancy sometimes and just crumble bacon on a bunch of avocado slices.

    Also good: With tuna sashimi and soy sauce.

    Love some of these ideas! I like to dice avocado, tomato and cut up pieces of shrimp. Mix together & add small amount of salsa or simply drizzle with lemon. So delicious.

    Try this:

    1 can of black beans (rinsed)
    1 small can corn nibblets
    1/2 red onion (diced)
    1 pint cherry tomatoes (diced)
    3 or 4 small avocados (diced)
    Squeeze juice of half a lime

    Dressing:
    packet of Italian dressing mix
    1/4 cup oil
    1/4cup white vinegar

    Mix the dressing and pour over the remaining ingredients. Serve as a salad or dip with tortilla chips!
    WARNING: it's addictive and all your friends will ask you for the recipe!

    Mashed with black pepper corns, salt and lemon juice or vinegar. On bread. I also love it in sushi, or wrapped together with chunky cottage cheese in smoked salmon slices.
