OMG, avocado toast. I heard of this for the first time recently and damn near lost my mind with joy, as I am a huge avocado fan. Also good is to put it on lightly toasted bread with garlic cloves baked in. Sprinkle avocados with salt and pepper and eat (my preference is Lawry's garlic salt and freshly cracked black pepper). Ridiculously yummy.0

I put it into Ceviche. Very healthy and if you moderate the avocado and tomato, very low cal and high protein.0

My wife and I share an avocado a day with our omelettes. I sautee vegetables (bell peppers, mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, etc.) in a pan until they are soft, and then pour 1/2 cup of egg beaters over the veggies and pull them to the top before the egg hardens. I then mash half of an avocado with a fork, stir in some jalapeno salt for flavor, and spread it on one half of the omelette to let it warm up. I then fold the omelette onto the plate from the pan and top it with green onions (hot sauce to taste).
I usually eat a serving of beans with this, and it makes for a crazy filling, healthy breakfast under 500 cal.0 -
Make a samich with it with 2 slices of toast and a little black pepper and salt, you could also add deli meat and cheese lettuce and tomato.0

Use it to make a healthier alfredo sauce for pasta! No butter or cream...It's DELICIOUS!
Also, weird combo, avocado chunks mixed in with cottage cheese, my new favorite snack!0 -

Ridiculously yummy.You can put slices on a piece of toasted whole grain bread and drizzle some olive oil on it = delicious. I found the texture kind of revolting at first when I tried eating slices raw, but now I love them. I love their nutty flavor. You can add them to salads or sandwiches.0

What to do with an avocado?
Slice it up and top a piece of steak or chicken with it.
Mix it up with some tuna and salsa and a diced tomato.
Dig in with a spoon.
Give it to me.0 -

Mash it up and spread on toast, sprinkle with sea salt, cracked black pepper, crushed red pepper (ETA: bump this up a notch by topping it with a fried egg!)
Mash it up and mix it with shredded chicken or tuna-- great on a sandwich, in a wrap, on top of a salad
Cube it and make a salad with corn, black beans, peppers, and a garlic-lime dressing0 -
I just made a spicy guacamole, and used that as a salad dressing on my red leaf and romaine lettuce salad. It was fantastic.0

I have a serious avocado addiction. I eat them on my grilled cheese, in my tacos, on my sandwiches, mixed with cottage cheese & cucumber as a snack...in my wraps. It is such a great fruit!! mmmm yummy! the trick is putting it with something that it can soak up the flavour...it is more of a flavour enhancer I find.
*Edit*...also in my salads, dips and I am sure many more things too!0 -
My ultimate favourite thing to do is put avocado on toast… ohhh its amazing.
For breakfast you can also spread it on a toasted pita bread/toast and put an egg on top.0 -
love it SO MANY WAYS!!
Made a spicy roasted bell pepper, tomato, carrot soup yesterday in the vitamixer -- added 1/2 of an avocado and it made it MEGA creamy and delicious!!!
Its also made into a pesto and over noodles or even over chicken. I love putting them in smoothies to bc you can't taste them (all though I love the taste) but it makes the smoothies rich and decadent!!0
