Anyone have a recipe for avocados? I picked a few up from the market and now don't know what to do with it. I know, I find the taste blah, with a boiled egg yoke texture, in it's raw state.

    I always add avocado to my spinch salads, but I love the taste of them raw, so I'm not sure if that's what you're looking for.

    I put them in spinach salads too! Maybe with dressing on them you wouldn't mind it as much? I love them in any way, shape or form.

    I put it in my smoothies, makes it really rich and creamy.

    Cut avocado in half, remove the pit, crack an egg into the pit hole and bake in oven until the egg is cooked how you like your eggs and then top with salsa before serving....yummy breakfast.

    You can put slices on a piece of toasted whole grain bread and drizzle some olive oil on it = delicious. I found the texture kind of revolting at first when I tried eating slices raw, but now I love them. I love their nutty flavor. You can add them to salads or sandwiches.

    My favorite is to slice it and eat it plain. You can add them to tacos or chili. You can also make guacamole and use it as a dip for veggies or a spread on a sandwich. Maybe try chopping it then tossing it with grape tomatoes sliced in half, olive oil, lime juice, salt, cilantro, and green onion.

    Oh wow, I am drooling just thinking of this.

    I don't think there's ever a time when you cook avocados, so it's "raw state" is what you've got. I personally cut mine in half, remove the pit, sprinkle with salt, put several drops of hot sauce in the pit hole, squeeze a bit of lime juice over it and eat with a spoon. Delish!

    Mash avocado and use it in place of mayo in egg salad.
    Put slices on a burger with pepperjack cheese.
    grilled cheese/ pepperjack/avacado and jalapeno
    I know I got more uses but my brain is taking a small break :)

    remove the pit place slasa and sprinkle with cheese and a sunnyside up egg on top.

    I should add that, it was my first avocado. It may be an acquired taste, like with coffee, onions, shrimp, and many other foods.

    Eat it sliced up with almost anything! Or mash one up with 1-2 tbsp fresh salsa for quick and easy guacamole to dip cut veggies in. mmmmmmm

    I like putting it in a turkey sandwich or mixing it up with cold shrimp for a sald.
