    my favorite salad dressing is made of 1/2 avocado, juice and zest of 2 lemons, 1/4 tsp sea salt and one roasted garlic clove. puree and pour over your salad :drinker: This also makes a great pasta sauce ! :happy:

    Make some guacamole! My kids will tear it up when I make homemade guac!!

    My recipe:

    avocados
    FRESH (deli type) salsa
    lime juice
    salt to taste

    Simple but DELISH. I never have left overs. People rave over it. I watched the people at a local mexican restaurant make it our table over and over again and started doing it at home :)

    Also top tacos or a taco salad w/ some slices!!

    I make a sauce with it called Avo-ziki sauce. It's like a Greek Tatziki sauce. Great for salads or a dip. Yummy!

    I love avocado in salads, guacamole, or on its own. I also like to mash it up, squirt some lime juice in it and use as a spread for my sandwiches.

    I eat an Avocado almost everyday.

    I either eat it plain with a little bit of salt, make guac or I add it to the top of a BLT wrap! YUM!

    I eat avocados everyday, really!
    I'm soo in love with them, I add them to almost everything.... sandwiches, dips, salads, toast. Usually I make mine very simple, mash up with lime juice & sea salt. Other times when I have more time I add cilantro, garlic pepper, tomatoes, jalapenos.

    Most of all when I make shrimp ceviche!!!! YUM!

    I like avocado/grapefruit and avocado/tomato salads. Avocado/corn/black beans is also a great combination.

    We love avocados on toast with a poached egg and drizzled with olive oil - YUM!
