    I recently used it on a grilled cheese sandwich, as I had run out of tomatoes and didn't want it plain. It was interesting, but I'd rather eat them plain as the cheese masked the fabulous taste of the avacado!

    someone else mentioned avocado in place of mayo for deviled eggs... I did this recently for the first time and it has improved my life intensely. :-) Seriously, delicious.
    Also, I made a really simple "chicken salad" for sandwiches -- just shredded up some cooked chicken breast and mashed it in with some avocado. SO GOOD!!!
    And I am currently eating my new favorite post-workout meal... avocado, cucumber, grape tomatoes, cottage cheese, black pepper. om nom nom nom.

    I like to mash it up and add a bit of greek yogurt and cayenne pepper/salt. I use this in place of mayo. Great on sandwiches or pitas.

    Dice it up with some tomatoes and mix with some feta cheese, a little bit of olive oil, some lime juice, sprinkle of oregano and any other spices you think would be good. Yummm!

    I've been having it in sandwiches with chicken and salad, or in wraps with crumbed chicken pieces, lettuce tomato, carrot and sweet chili sauce

    No one has suggested any sweet avocado offerings.

    I've always treated avocado like a fruit (which it is) moreso than a vegetable.

    Cut in half, sprinkle it with some table sugar, and eat by the spoonful.

    I've blended it with milk in the past to make an avocado shake; perhaps vanilla almond milk is a healthier lighter option.

    If you look at some Asian grocers, you can find avocado ice cream options. Not the best dessert for dieting, but it is there.

    half, remove the pit, crack an egg in the hole and place in a tinfoil boat :) Bake in the oven until the egg is set and eat as is or add salsa , parmesan flakes or bacon bits YUM!

    mix it in egg salad in place of mayo for a creamy egg salad

    I don't know why I even clicked this thread.. I SO wish I wasn't allergic to it. I sometimes still eat it in Sushi... but my throat immediately starts itching and my lips balloon up :( I love it though. Stupid food allergies.

    I pan fry mine and have it with poached eggs. Or use it to replace butter in a cake :)

    as a butter sub? never even thought of that.. does it change taste or consistency?

    I use it as a mayo sub for most things..
    and I put it with everything.. or just eat it as is.
    My fave is mixed with an egg and red onion wrapped in lettuce or a tortilla.
    or tuna avocado salad..

    OMG!
    don't eat it again!

    Allergies get worse everytime you tempt fate! My seafood allergy started with tingling and numbness in my face (yea it's so fun to drool at the dinner table for all the wrong reason LOL) and progressed quickly to full blown anaphylactic shock.. And you can progress quickly without warning. Just stay away. it's a pita for me to avoid shellfish or anything processed/packaged in a factory that also processes shellfish.. but it's worth it to live. I may sound dramatic.. but allergies only get worse in adults. My boyfriend can't even eat the stuff when he's with me.. not if he wants to touch me at all afterwards.. I'm that bad now.. Don't tempt fate.

    I mix it into my eggs in the mornings, eat it with chicken & salsa for lunch or dinner. You can add avocado to pretty much anything.

    Mmmm mix it with olive oil & feta in a salad

    Tried this not long ago:


    Put a touch of olive oil in a small saucepan, throw in some garlic and onion. Let it sit.
    While that's going, de-skin a tomato (boiling water for 30 sec, with an X sliced into each end so the skin comes off easily)
    Dice up the tomato once ready, throw it in with the onion and garlic.
    Add some salt and pepper. Feel free to add some hot sauce if you're into that kinda thing.
    Simmer down.

    Basically, we're doing the beginning steps of making pasta sauce, but skipping the tomato paste/sugar part, as it's not required. The avocado counters the bitterness of the tomato so the sugar isn't needed, and we don't care about the colour, it's beautiful as it is.

    Take the open avocado half (peeled, cut in half, pit removed) and spoon some sauce in there. If you wanna go hard, grate some aged cheddar over the sauce part (no, not the avocado part, that's just being greedy).

    It takes about 10 minutes to make, is healthy, and super yummy.

    Mix with Greek yogurt and garlic and use as a pita/ blue corn tortilla chip dip. Yum. It's also really good diced on top of eggs (as someone suggested), or I use it as a sandwich spread. So many things to do with it!
