    Hollow it our slightly and put fried egg into it....

    Or slice it up and make an avocado chicken salad?

    Combos are awesome...

    Lets not forget however we could always just add salt and eat the damn thing as it is... that is also yummy :P

    Olive oil in guac? What you talkin bout willis!

    Make guac with avocado, garlic, chilli, lime juice and season it. Have with chicken salad. Its amazing.

    Took the words right out of my mouth! I slice it up and put it on sandwiches, or burgers

    ETA: Slice avocados over eggs/omelettes

    I sliced one up this afternoon and ate the slices raw with my lunch of scrambled egg whites with a little picante.

    Make a chocolate milkshake out of them. Trust me..

    I usually put half an avocado, a cup of almond milk, a tablespoon or two of Stevia in the raw, a tablespoon of cocoa powder, a few drops of vanilla extract, and some ice in a blender.. you barely taste the avocado but have the thickest, creamiest chocolate shake imagineable for way less calories than a regular chocolate shake!

    I want to try that!

    I bought two avocados in order to transform them in a delicious guacamole for my birthday party, but I was short on time and they are still sitting in the fruit jar.

    Any ideas to incorporate them in my diet this week ?

    Mash and spread about a 1/4 of an avacado on a sandwich instead of using mayo.
    Put a few slices on a garden salad.
    Make a turkey burger for dinner and put a few slices on that.

    I put Avocado on my sandwiches in place of Mayonnaise when I have it. Still pretty good, especially on Turkey

    They are pretty good alone with just a splash of olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

    I like to cube them, and make a salad with roasted pine nuts, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and a little good seasons italian dressing (about 330 cals).

    I also like to make a bowl of guacamole and then eat it with grilled chicken instead of chips. Delish!

    Why not make guacamole anyway? Just without the Olive oil - I don't think it's all that important.

    :noway: olive oil...to each their own, i guess. :tongue:

    Top chicken noodle soup with cubed avos, or mash with canned chicken and cilantro for a delush chkn salad filler. No mayo needed! Oot oot. Hurray for the avo lovers of the world!

    You can also rub it on your face....

    I use avocados in my smoothies, too. When I get them on sale, I buy a bunch, cut them in quarters and freeze them. Great with frozen fruit and they add such a creamy texture. Keeps me from getting hungry. I got some for .29 recently, so I'm stocked up!

    Sliced with firm tofu, wrapped in romaine lettuce and dipped in rice vinegar. This was one of my favorite snacks back in my college days when I had vegan room-mates. You can substitute the tofu for mozarella cheese also.
