    Today i had an open faced grilled cheese (using butter spray) on whole wheat with baby spinach, mozzarella cheese, and half of a sliced avacado...topped with a little pepper....It was sooooo yummy:) But would love to see how others eat their avacados.

    Oh my gosh, that sounds AMAZING!! I love avocados so I eat them on sandwiches, in salads, as guac, stuffed with other veggies or chicken salad, and I love to eat them by themselves with just a sprinkle of Lawrey's seasoning.

    with chips or something crunchy.

    on a sandwich is really good, too. a grilled cheese with avocado is yum. or on toast. or on eggs. (as long as i have toast too, i need crunch)

    Cut up on my salad. I also will put slices on egg and tomato sandwiches. I usually only make guacamole for a party, but when I do, my secret ingredients are zero fat Greek Yogurt (makes it really creamy), a little lime juice, and Tajin (a Mexican spice you can find at Mexican grocery stores). And never, ever, ever use a blender - only a fork to mash it up.

    With a little salt and fresh lime juice.

    This.

    I love avocado with everything - with (in or on top of) eggs, salads, sandwiches of any kind, burgers, etc. ITS SOOO DELICIOUS!

    I eat half for breakfast every day - bring it to work with half a fresh lemon, add sea salt, and dig in! SO GOOD.

    Great ideas! I love how avocado can be sweet or savory.

    If I don't want bread with breakfast, I take an avocado and cut a slice from the middle, so there's a big hole where the seed is, then fry an egg inside of it, sort of like a toad in the hole without the bread. Or you can cut the avocado in half, hollow it out a little more if it's a small one, break an egg in each half, and bake them in the oven. Top with salsa, tzatziki, yogurt, cheese...eat with a spoon.

    Mashed on a wheat matzoh with smoked salmon, lox, or tuna.

    Mashed with eggs for an egg salad sandwich.

    For dessert, blended with almond milk and honey, or as a replacement for butter in higher fat baked goods.
  • I make a salad with de salted cod fish cut the de salted (boil til salt is removed) cod fish into stips or chunks, tomatoe cut in wedges yellow onion sliced, stuffed olives some olive oil and sliced or chunked avocado (large Avocado or 2 Haas) salt and pepper to taste very refreshing in the summer
  • Mashed with chick peas on a wrap with some tomato....love it!

    So glad this thread is here- because I am swimming in avocados!! (A great problem to have, right?!)
    They are so readily available here in California- and with Superbowl being last weekend... they were on sale 3 for $1.00 So I have 6 (left over from buying 9!!) and need to get my avocado on!!

    Yummmmmm

    I top my black bean tacos with avocado. I use large corn tortillas heated without oil until the a firm enough to hold the traditional taco shape, half filled with seasoned black beans, and then topped with fresh chopped onions, jalapenos, tomatoes, kale or cabbage, and then the avocado. I use a quarter per taco, sliced. Yum! (No cheese, no meat, no oil)
  • On a chicken & bacon sandwich instead of mayo.. Its lovely!

    I usually make guacomole, but I've tried it in a smoothie and didn't like it too much. Tonight I am going to add it to my salad.

    I've been eating it (about a tablespoon at a time) in onigiri (rice balls). Chop it up, mix with a bit of drained chopped pickled ginger and use it for a non-traditional onigiri filling. They freeze really well too.

    I actually threw one in my smoothie. We went from the Ninja to the Blentec and I finally figured it could handle the whole avacado, seed and all. Added a really nice creamy texture to the smoothie. Gonna keep it in the mix!

    Usually sliced on a salad, but today I had 1/2 smeared on a tortilla, a hand full of spring mix and a can of tuna. Yum! Over the weekend, I had an omelet with chicken, avocado and fontina cheese.
