    New to Avocado

    How can I eat it? What can I mix it with? What are things that go good with it? It's a healthy fat and I have only heard good things about it. Any ideas?

      I like it as a spread on a sandwich instead of butter/mayo etc. It's also yummy spread over a cooked chicken breast with some cheese grilled over it, or made into guacamole with crackers or vegie sticks. I'm not a fan of the texture when it's in chunks, but lots of people like it in salads. It's also good with poached eggs on a muffin or bagel for breakfast with lots of cracked pepper.

      I like to eat it with a spoon and my mouth. And maybe a few feral/ deranged glances.

      Do a Google image search on "avacado". Prepare to drool. :tongue:

      I eat it plain, as guacamole, on a sandwich...however I can get it, I think it's delicious

      Avocados are perfect. I like them on sandwiches, burgers, with my eggs, on enchiladas, on toast... honestly they're super versatile. You can even make chocolate pudding out of them. I had a raw vegan chocolate mousse pie that was avocado based once, and it changed my life. So damn good. Also, in tuna/egg salad sandwiches, I'll use half an avocado and just a small spoonful of mayo, instead of all mayo. Delish.

      And guac, obviously.

      I like to dice it up and eat it with lime and sea salt!

      Someone mentioned avocado fries, which sounds intriguing. I might have to experiment on a low fat oven version.

      Mix it into a salad.
      Slice it and sprinkle a tad of salt on it.
      Mix it into tuna instead of mayo
      Smear it onto a sandwich as a condiment.
      Layer it ontop of a melted cheese tortilla
      Toast bread, mash avocado and then top with fets.

      I'm gonna echo it as awesome as a sandwich spread to add a nice green richness to it.

      In love with Avocados...! I actually mix them in my smoothies. Gives them such an awesome creaminess. Mostly I just use my hands and shove large pieces in my mouth while grunting.

      I make guacamole for tacos or fajitas, I put avocado on pizza (after it's cooked or it will burn!), in sandwiches, and on eggs benny. It's so yummy, you can put with almost everything!

      Heck, I just eat it raw...mash it up, add salt and maybe a little bit of pepper and dig in...2-3oz EVERY morning...it was an acquired taste for me...now I actually crave it. Weird...

      Thank you, everyone! :) Looking forward to trying it on an egg sandwich now instead of using mayo!

      My favorite way hands down...is just a bit of sea salt. Oh man! SO GOOD!

      i like them as a side to eggs in the morning - with a little salt.
      i use them in lieu of mayo in egg salad and chicken salad.
      put em on veggie sammies, put them in salad, make a taco salad...
      guac, of course.

      really, you can eat them any way.

      I looooooooove them mixed with a little bit of cottage cheese! If you use the low fat kind it's about 240 calories for a whole one mushed in with 1/4 cup of it, and it keeps me AMAZINGLY satiated. I also like to stick em on breakfast sandwiches, or make guac/sour cream (or plain greek yogurt) omelettes! I can also pretty much just squeeze one into my mouth and be happy that way too!

      Few of my favs:

      Avocado pasta sauce: http://ohsheglows.com/2011/01/31/15-minute-creamy-avocado-pasta/
      Mash it up with a little salt to replace mayo - eat with eggs/tomatoes
      Make ALT's (like BLT, but bacon replaced with sliced avocado)

      Edit - why do I always forget to close my brackets! lol

      Ha I'm in the same boat! I hated them, then I started sticking them in everything and trying to get used to it. Now it's pretty much my favorite food-I even went so far as to make an avocado pie (I don't suggest it, you'll almost certainly be disappointed)

      Here in Kali we have advocado's year-round. I love eating it raw with broiled skinless chicken breast. Sometimes my wife will mash it up then mix it with fresh mexican lime juice and cayenne pepper (another super food).
