    Leave the pit in the portion that you are not eating. It may still turn a little brown from oxidation, but you can just scrape off the brown part and it will be nice and green inside.

    LOVE avocados! Tonight I'm making spaghetti squash with avocado 'sauce' (pureed avocado, olive oil, basil and a squeeze of lime, salt and pepper) and turkey meatballs.


    Yumm that sounds great!

    I cube up a slice or two and add it to my occasional eggwhite omelet. Also, I add slices to my sandwiches. I HAVE to have my avocado. Oh, and also avocado bubble tea smoothies <3

    I usually make guacamole with avocados, and then use that in tacos, in salads, in jacket potatoes, as dressing, on bread...
    I just mash them, add some chopped garlic, onions and chili, salt and pepper, squeeze a lime or lemon over and done :)

    Avocados are great!! Sure, they're quite high on fat, but the good kind. Very, very healthy and tastes good :D

    what is a jacket potato?

    I had guacamole with my omelette the last few evenings. I suddenly got a taste for it, and usually not one to add sauces of any kind or dressings to things, I felt the need to add something for some extra taste. It is really nice. I also just chop up avocado and have it with smoked salmon sometimes.

    Avocados are up there as one of my favorite foods. How do you eat your avocado?

    I like half of an avocado (~2.5-3 oz.) sprinkled with salt with the middle filled with hummus.

    Instead of hummus I just squeeze some lemon on it with the salt. PERFECTION!

    Avocado tossed with balsamic vinegar and garden tomato. Sometimes a sprinkle of fresh basil. It's the best!

    For those that eat a part of an avocado, what do you do with the remainder so it doesn't brown?

    fill a fitting container with enough lemon juice to cover the open part of the avocado, then put the avocado face down in the lemon juice, cover & refrigerate
