Ahhhhhh! Avocado's the SUPER FOOD! I LOVE THEM any which way, but lately my favorite has been a chickpea guacamole salad for lunch with a few mutli grain sea salt chips for some crunch, or tortilla chips, flax seed chips, etc.....
My recipe:
1 small avocado (Haas are best) pitted, cubed & peeled.
1/4 Cup of juicy tomatoes diced
prepare your Avocado & maters in a bowl first then add your spices/herbs to taste. It taste best with fresh of course, but to save time at work I use dried:
Chives
Cilantro
Minced garlic (or garlic powder if you don't have minced)
Kosher Salt (or whatever salt you use)
Ground Pepper (I really like white pepper better, but whatever you have)
Fresh lime juice enough to wet your spices down on top of your mixture, but be runny.
I like mine mixed not mashed where I still have some yummy avocado chunks in there, then once you have mixed well add you a 1/2 cup of chickpeas & mix til coated. DIG IN! So good, I always find myself licking the bowl!0 -
My wife loves this one. I've made it several times when hers girlfriends come over for a wine tasting party.
Hot Avocado and Shrimp Soup
1 small onion, diced
2 stalks celery, chopped fine
4 cups chicken broth
1 bay leaf
4 sprigs parsley
1 cup sour cream
1/8 cup chopped chives
Salt and Pepper to taste
2 medium avocados, peeled, seeded, roughly chopped
1/2 cup cooked small shrimp, shelled, de-veined
Place onion, celery, broth, bay leaf, parsley, salt & pepper in a large saucepan. Simmer for 15 minutes. Strain and reserve stock.
Place avocados in blender or food processor; puree avocados while slowly adding stock.
When mixture is smooth, return to saucepan and heat gently; add shrimp. Cook over low heat until heated thoroughly, do not boil.
Serve with a dollop of sour cream atop each serving, and sprinkle with chopped chives.
Garnish with a slice of Fresh Avocado and sprig of cilantro0 -
Avocados are awesome to help belly fat. I like avocados (actually too much), but I'll go at lunch time and get some ready made fresh pic de gallo, a lime, and a hass avocado from the supermarket next door to my office, chop the avocado up into little bits the same size as the pico, squeeze some lime juice in and then add some garlic salt. noms noms noms....0

I love it in my romaine salad. I also like it just with sliced tomatoes and a small drizzle of Italian dressing.0

I use it in place of mayonnaise and I also sprinkle cumin on top and eat it like that ^_^ but I also like them plain or in my salad0

Hi! I've been on an avocado kick lately and I came up with this breakfast.
I mash 1/2 an avocado with a tsp. Of EVOO, tiny sprin kle of sea salt, generous amount ( about 3/4 tsp )of garlic and black pepper and I spread that in one whole wheat bagel that was cut in half and toasted, then I scramble two egg whites and top the avocado. It's alot of calories but so filling and heart healthy and it lasts me from @7am until well past lunch. All together about 429 calories
Hope u like it..

I make a sauce with it called Avo-ziki sauce. It's like a Greek Tatziki sauce. Great for salads or a dip. Yummy!0

Avocados, any which way but loose!0

I just mix it on itself and use it on my sandwich instead of using mayonnaise. Adds a great flavor boost and gets some healthy fats into my lunch. Add some spinach, lean turkey and some tomotoes and I get everything out of it.0

EVERYTHING!!!0 -
I LOVE Jasmine rice, a little garlic, sea salt, and fresh avacado, cut into small chunks. Mix it all up, the avacado softens and almost "melts" into the rice YUMM!0

my favorite was to cut in half, then in wedges like an orange, toss lightly in olive oil then toss lightly in bread crumbs... bake in the oven 350 until just starting to brown.... OMG!!!0

I don't think there's ever a time when you cook avocados, so it's "raw state" is what you've got. I personally cut mine in half, remove the pit, sprinkle with salt, put several drops of hot sauce in the pit hole, squeeze a bit of lime juice over it and eat with a spoon. Delish!
You're my kind of girl. lol. I put them on salads, in sandwiches, in tacos, or I just slice them up and sprinkle salt on them and eat them up.0 -
I always add avocado to my spinch salads, but I love the taste of them raw, so I'm not sure if that's what you're looking for.0
