    Love avocados! I am going to start incorporating 1/2 an avocado per day into my diet again. Question for those of you who do this: how do you keep the other half from going brown until the next day? Anyone have a foolproof method of avocado preservation?

    So I bought one, I have no clue what to do with it, so I'm reading through here to see what the best way is to try it first (raw vs putting it on something) to even see if I like it or not. LOL!!!

    Keep the half with the seed in it... rub some lemon juice on it. May turn a little brown, but it's okay.

    If it does go brown, you can still eat it. It just changes color, still tastes yummy.

    in my green smoothies, in place of mayo for egg salad, top my chicken breast, great on a burger, in a turkey club, on whole wheat toast with avacado and sugar free strawberry jam, cut it in half, sprinkle generously with black pepper and eat with a spoon

    When I make deviled eggs, I replace the mayo with avocado... YUMMY!! Of course they are brown the next day but who cares!!!

    A squeeze of lemon or lime juice will keep it from turning brown. :)

    My top two favorite avocado combinations (use any way you want): avocado with smoked salmon, and avocado with balsamic vinegar.

    I always keep avocados in the fridge at work... if I'm hungry I have a healthy snack on hand instead of being tempted by the vending machine!

    In fact, I'm going to go eat one right now

    Great minds. We're having the same for dinner.

    I am not a huge avocado fan but my mom is super into them.
    She makes open faced toasted sandwiches with sliced tomato, sliced avocado, light cheese, salt and pepper.

    I've just started to incorporate avocados into my diet...along with extra virgin olive oil. For the past 20 years I avoided the goodness of avocados thinking that they will only make me fatter. Hah, a lot of good that did. Now I am going to include this food in my diet because I want healthy "fats" and I feel certain this is the right track for me. I made a salad last night for dinner with the following from the Farmer's Market: Diced avocado, heirloom tomatoes, baby cucumbers, fresh mozzerella -- drizzeled in a little olive oil, lemon, and balsamic vinegar.

    I love Avocados.
    I live in Springfield, Mo and the avocados we have been getting are hard.
    Heard you can put them in a Paper Sack and they will ripen, so that is what I am doing.

    I Love Avocados. When I fix me a Blt, I use the mashed avocado on my bread instead of mayo

    I heard yesterday about having an Avocado Smoothie.
    Has anyone tried that, if so , Could I have the Recipe

    I eat tons of avocados! LOVE them! I add them in salads or use mashed avocado in place of mayo on sandwiches.

    I tried avacado for the 1st time yesterday raw, I have had it in guacamole but obv thats mixed with different stuff. OMG its DELISH. Was a little unsure at first as i am funny with food textures but the taste YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM. One problem tho... I went to eat the other half today that i had put in a tupperware box in fridge and its gone brown and looks far from appealing so i never ate it :( will just have to buy smaller one and eat a whole one in future.

    I cannot believe i have not tried it sooner. But at least its in my life now <3
