      Sprinkle it with a little salt if you want, maybe hot sauce, and devour with a spoon!

      Make guacamole; put it on your salad; eat it as a garnish; mix it with black beans, corn, peppers, cilantro and lime juice; put it in a smoothie; make cucumber avocado soup; spread it on crackers; use it instead of mayonnaise on a sandwich or wrap.

      On brown toast with salt, pepper, a squeeze of lemon.

      I also saw a recipe that used it instead of mayonnaise in devilled eggs. And another that used it to make healthier chocolate mousse!

      In place of mayo on a sammich.
      Diced on top of soup, chili or salad.
      Plain

      Sandwich topping! I'm shying away from putting cheese on my sandwiches, so topping my lean turkey or chicken sandwich with a couple thin slices of avocado is my go-to these days. (Actually, when I lived outside the U.S. I used to just do avocado on a slice of bread for a light lunch - nice that the season of cheap avocados coincided with the season of constant power outages!)

      I like it sliced on a veggie burger, with salsa. This would work on a regular burger too, I'm sure!

      Atop steamed veggies and rice with a tasty sauce of your choice.

      In half with soy sauce in the hole, scoop out and eat.

      In a smoothie - it adds amazing creaminess but if you only put 1/4 in, it doesn't taste weird.

      In a green salad

      On any given savory sandwich (with veggies, meat, but probably not peanut butter, LOL)

      I always salt and pepper an avocado b4 consuming it.

      my fav way:

      BAT sandwich:
      bacon
      avocado
      tomato

      good in a mexican chicken/veg soup too, dice and put it in right before serving.

      i also like it smeared on toast to eat alongside eggs.

      I have hated avocado until just recently. The past 4 months I can't get enough and since I've been avocado-obsessed I found this website that has a lot of really amazing recipes!

      www.theamazingavocado.com

      Almost everything I've seen sounds so good. If anyone tries one please PM me and let me know how it is. I hope to try a bunch very soon! :)

      Open-faced avocado and tomato sandwiches

      1. Mix your avocado with a small spoonful of light mayo, salt and pepper, and whatever herb seasonings you like (I do Mrs. Dash Garlic & Herb).

      2. Spread your avocado mix on lightly toasted whole grain bread

      3. Put a few slices of vine-ripened tomatoes on top and sprinkle with a TEENSY bit of seasoned salt

      4. Enjoy!!! ( Seriously, it's delicious)

      With nose held and swallowing large chunks so you don't have to taste it or feel the texture ...

      I recently mashed up an avocado, added some red onion, bacon drippings (just a tbl or so), bacon, grapeseed oil, salt, pepper, and used it to coat my salad in place of dressing. It was amazing. I ate like 5 cups of mixed greens. Ridiculous.

      salt, to taste
      1 onion, finely chopped

      so many ways - Normally have it on the side of some pelau (rice, chicken and piegon pea). Or I can have it with a nice salad. Or simply by it self with salsa. :smile:

      I get a quart of salsa from a local authentic Mexican restaurant and mix it with that.(not the whole quart, just 1/2 c at a time lol) I call it my mush. Total yum. I also use it on sandwiches instead of mayo. It's great on a turkey burger or just with some whole grain tortilla chips. Or on a spoon lol.
