    Try it diced with cucumber, cilantro and lime. Or cut it in half, remove pit and fill with low fat cottage cheese.

    Mash avocado and use it in place of mayo in egg salad.

    I do this as a substitute in Tuna salad and with chicken in a type of chicken salad too! So delicious :)

    because of its texture you can use in it place of cream for a satisfying pasta dish:

    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.

    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.

    I love it diced up on top of a salad, in guacamole (mmmmmmmm!!!) and lately I've been mashing up a whole avocado, adding some salt and pepper and spreading half of it across some whole wheat toast. I save the rest for a snack or breakfast the next morning! I hope you find something that works for ya, I love avocado!!!

    OP, I only read your first post, but my one and only reaction is: everything?

    Yes, the flavor is mild, but if you are thinking "egg yolks" while eating an unadorned slice, it may not be ripe enough.

    I love to take a tuna packet, one or two hb egg whites chopped, onion, soft mashed avocado and whatever herb floats your culinary boat that day and have a wonderfully healthy tuna salad.

    Or, cut the avocado in half, remove pit, squeeze with lime juice on cut side, and sprinkle with your favorite kind of paprika. Eat out of skin with a spoon while humming happily to yourself.

    Before I really liked avacados, i would mash it up and make my own healthy guacamole and use it as a dip. After I got used to the taste and texture, I now cut it up and put it on salads. I also cube it and saute it in a pan and add it to my meal. It goes well with chicken, turkey burgers, bacon, tomato/spinach dishes.
