Avocado. How do YOU eat it?

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 can usually have it alone with some salt. Some other ways I like avocado w/:
Toasted egg white sandwich
Brown rice
In a greek salad
Cut up grilled or baked chicken pieces0 -
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!0

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.0 -
Cut up and put on a salad; filled with cottage cheese; cut up and scrambled with eggs or in an omelet.0

I eat it in place of where I'd normally put mayo.0

I eat it with any kind of sandwich with salt sprinkled on it. Or I make guacamole!!! Yummmmm0

I LOVE avocado. I eat it plain with a spoon. Heck, I don't even add salt. I'm weird though...0

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.0 -
with a spoon

In sushi rolls! Diced over salad! Add diced onion, tomato, balsamic vinegar and olive oil for a nice summer salad! on top of hamburgers! I mean turkey or veggie burgers!0

I mix mine with tuna. It takes the place of mayo and is WAY better for you. Its an amazing lunch.1 avocado, 1 80 cal pack of tuna, small knife, and a bowl, salt and pepper. You dont have to put in fridge. Its fast easy and GOOD!!!!!0

I have yet to try this but saw a suggestion for toasting it in the oven with parmesan cheese and tobasco sauce. I'd probably skip the tobasco but the cheese sounds delicious! Otherwise I've used it instead of butter and made delicious thin bread toast w/ham on top for breakfast. Also, I put it on top of my garden burgers, and add it to my salad.0

I was wondering the same thing.0 -

Avocado Toast
2 slices of multi-grain bread
1 avocado cut in half
1 lime, cut in half
6 grape tomatoes cut into small rounds.
olive oil
kosher salt
freshly ground pepper
crushed red pepper flakes
Toast the bread (butter if you like) and mash one half of the avocado on each slice of bread with a fork. Squeeze one half of the lime on each slice, top each half with the sliced tomatoes, add a pinch of red pepper flakes, salt & pepper to taste and a drizzle of olive oil.
VERY tasty! Enjoy.0 -
I also dice it in an omelet (instead of cheese)0

Sadly my cats eat EVERYTHING left within their reach. You'd think they don't get fed or something. T_T0
