On a turkey burger!!! Soooooo good!
Love it on chicken sandwiches, turkey sandwiches. Over chicken and spanish rice...with a dallop of light sour cream. Heaven!0 -
Skinnytaste.com has an avocado section. Some good ideas. I put it on everything or eat it plain!0

I made some pasta salad last week where I switched out mashed up avocados instead of mayo, it was delicious. I just find myself getting bored with sliced avocados on everything. Maybe I'll make some guacamole tonight!0

Eat it with a spoon right from the skin with the little bit of soy sauce.0

Avocados are really good in smoothies. They give a great creamy texture with not a lot of flavor changes. It's great with just vanilla yogurt or protein powder and avocado, too. A banana makes it even sweeter.
Avocado and strawberry smoothie with almond milk--yummmmmm0 -
Avocado + a juicy tomato + kidney beans (or black beans) + onion + some crushed black pepper = great by itself... or great on a wrap... or great over a bed of salad greens.. or great with a few baked tostitos scoops...0

You can add them to anything- it gives whatever you're eating a wonderful buttery smoothness. Last thing I did with avocadoes is add them to a bowl of homemade chili I made in my crockpot. OMG, delish!!!

I have not tried this yet, but it looks AWESOME, so I figured I'd offer it up to you http://www.twopeasandtheirpod.com/stovetop-avocado-mac-and-cheese/
The avocados I can buy in the stores tend to be such crap that I've taken to ordering them online from an avocado ranch in California, and I'm so happy to have awesome tasting fresh avocados again! I keep planning on trying the recipe, but then I just grab the avocado and slather it on a sandwich or just eat it in my salads <g>0 -

No Mayo Coleslaw with a Zip
3 cups shredded cabbage
2 cups shredded cabbage (or one bag ready coleslaw mix)
1 large avocado, ripe
1/2 greek plain yogurt
1 tbs honey
1tbs rice vinegar
1 jalapeno pepper seeded and minced
salt and pepper.
Puree everything except veggies and jalapeno in a blender or magic bullet, you may need a few tbs of water to thin out the sauce if it's too thick. Toss sauce, veggies and jalapeno to coat. Let rest in fridge 1 hour before eating, keeps for 2 days. Really good creamy coleslaw! it's awesome, the vinegar keeps it from browning.0 -
Favorite breakfast right now: 1/4 could up to 1/2 an avacado spread on a slice of toast with an egg on top of that. Eat with fork = YUMMO!!0

Did your doctor specifically say "eat avocados" or did they suggest avocados as one way to increase your HDL? There are plenty of other foods out there that you could eat as well to hit your HDL targets - like nuts, olive oil (salads/cooking), oatmeal.... there are plenty of lists out there of foods that will help you raise HDL!
One of my newest favorite avocado meals is an egg baked in the middle of an avocado half. You have to spoon out a little of the avocado to get the egg to fit. You can use the whole egg or just the egg white to make it healthier (and cut down on bad cholesterol). Keep the avocado in the skin. prop it up with tin foil (so the egg doesn't drip out) on a baking sheet. Preheat oven to 425 and cook for 15-20 minutes until the desired egg doneness. The warm avocado is to die for!0 -
