Avocado is one of those things I love having on food when I'm eating out (ZPizza makes a tasty Mexican pizza with avocado on top) but that when I buy one myself, I'm kind of at a loss for what to do with it. I have one in my fridge right now, and I kind of want to eat it, but I need some ideas. Hit me.

    I eat avocado with everything... sometimes just plain straight out of the skin with a spoon with a little salt. But if you're looking for ways to mix it up, I like it on sandwiches, and the other day I made tuna with it instead of mayo - yummy!

    I had the same issue after some suggestions saying I should add it in my diet. I found these two recipes that look super yummy and plan to make them this weekend!

    I actually might make the first one with steak for dinner tonight and the second one Sunday night for lunches next week.

    Cut up and put on a salad; filled with cottage cheese; cut up and scrambled with eggs or in an omelet.

    I eat it in place of where I'd normally put mayo.

    I LOVE avocado. I eat it plain with a spoon. Heck, I don't even add salt. I'm weird though...

    slice it in half, take out the pit, sprinkle with a little salt and pepper, and eat it with a spoon (right out of the skin, like it was in a little dish).

    let it warm up to room temp first though, and you want it to be a little soft. if it's still hard as a rock, leave it on the counter for a few days to soften.

    1.) I cut it into slices and top som faux ground taco beef/ beans/ cheese/lettuce on a tortilla
    2.) slice it and add it to any sandwhich
    3.) blend it in a smoothie/protein shake
    4.) bake it topped with a little cooked rice, cheese and brown it off. grab spoon and dig in.
    5.) make guacamole.

    question: why are you keeping it in the fridge? Is it already cut or something? I always keep mine room temp.

    With a spoon and salt.

    Sliced on any sandwich.

    On crackers, on bread.

    I will them on a plane, I will eat them on a train, I will eat them in a boat, I will eat them with a goat, I will eat them here or there, I will eat them anywhere, I will eat them Sam I Am, I will eat avocados and spam.

    Cut into cubes and spread out on a plate. Drizzle with EVOO and balsamic vinegar and a little salt and pepper. I love it!
