I love love love avocados! I have four that are finally ripe and now I am torn on how to prepare them. What are some of your favorite avocado recipes?

I personally love Avocado Sandwiches.

9-grain bread
Avocado (sliced or mashed your choice)
1 slice of White cheddar cheese
Lettuce
Tomato
Spicy Mayo
YUMMMM!

    Can't beat fresh avocados!
    I like to eat them with salt and lime or I mash with a drizzle of olive oil, lime juice, salt and minced garlic

    I like to toast an english muffin, spread avacado on both sides, sliced turkey breast, top with a slice of cheese, then broil just until cheese melts.


    I also dice green onions, tomatoes, and stir into my mashed avacado for a fresh guac.

    I chop into small cubes the avocado, dust with salt and pepper, then throw it into a small bowl with a can of no name spicy thai tuna. Delicious. Other times I'm content with slicing them and putting them on a slice of whole wheat with a little bit of mayonnaise.

    Avocado Chocolate Pudding.
    1 ripe avocado
    1/4 cup cocoa powder
    1/4 cup raw agave nectar
    1/4 cup almond milk
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    Peel and quarter a ripe avocado.
    Put all the ingredients in your beloved Magic Bullet (or a blender/hand mixer) and blend until smooth.
    Serve and enjoy!

    I love fresh pico de gallo (finely chopped tomatoes, onion, jalapeno, and tons of cilantro) mashed up with avocados. I can (and do) eat it by the bowlful.

    I also like avocados in a breakfast salad, cubed, with chopped tomato, shredded prosciutto, grated cheese, basil, salt and pepper, and poached eggs.

    I just finished making and eating Salmon and Avocado Lettuce Wraps for lunch. They were pretty tasty!

    Ingredients:
    1 (7 oz) can of salmon, drained and bones removed
    Half of an avocado, skinless and seedless, chopped
    1 medium celery stick, chopped
    1/4 of a field cucumber, chopped or diced
    Dash of black pepper
    Lettuce leaves of your preference (I had iceberg on hand)
    1 tbsp of walnut pieces
    2-3 tbsp of plain, unsweetened greek yogurt

    Makes approximately 3 servings, depending if you have something on the side.

    Directions:
    Mix and mash everything but the lettuce together. Add mixture to lettuce leaves and roll up!

    I like to dash some habanero hot sauce on there and scoop out the meat. Also, guacomole of course.

    Hubby made a nice chicken vegetable soup last weekend. For all the leftovers this week, I threw in some marinaded jalapenos and lots of diced avocado with lemon pepper seasoning; sort of a southwestern chicken soup. Yum, that was good!
