    Thanks for all the ideas. The tuna salad sounds yummy. I want to add avocados to my diet, but don't care too much for them plain. I'll have to try to spice it up some.

    Oooooo! Love this idea!
    When I make chicken salad or egg salad I use mashed up avocado instead of mayo... it's amazing :)

    Having been born and raised in Southern California, I grew up around avocados! We had an avocado tree in the back yard and they actually produced some really good ones! One of my favorite things to eat, which may sound a bit weird, is avocado and plain greek yogurt spread on sprouted grain bread. Sprinkle a little bit of pepper on it and you are good to go! greek yogurt is a great substitute for cream cheese, and it's got a lot of protein packed in there.

    I also love putting avocado slices in egg white omelets.

    When I have tuna I use a half of an avocado in place of mayo, tastes quite yummy

    Someone else posted this, and I definitely need to try!

    Avocados are the *kitten*. I eat them a few times a week on sandwiches, and by themselves. I splurge every once in a blue moon and have a nice dessert with a half one and some sweetened condensed milk (a recipe from when I lived in the Philippines).

    One thing I like to make is a grilled cheese pita, which consists of 1 mini pita (Tourayan Bakeries - Mini Pita 80 Calories Whole Wheat-80 cal), stuff it with 1 avocado slice and about 1/4 cup of 2% Mexican blend cheese, use a bit of pam in the skillet, and grill it like it's a grilled cheese.

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

    I really don't have a specific recipe for my smoothies, as I usually just throw whatever fruit I have on hand in the blender, but along with the about 1/2 an avocado, I use banana, blueberries, mandarin orange, peaches, apples, cantelope, PB2 (or on occasion real peanut butter), almond milk, vanilla flavored protein powder.

    Yumm. I wanna try the baked egg in an avocado. I slice mine into turkey sandwiches and sometimes smash with garlic salt with a little sour cream and dip tortilla chips in it. I am new to avocados so I love getting all these new recipes! Not too keen on raw without salt though..

    I love avocados! When I have hard boiled eggs in fridge I'll quarter one or two (sometimes removing the yolks), do the same for avocado, sprinke on salt and pepper, and drizzle a little olive oil over it. It's great breakfasat that is very filling.

    My skin seems to look healthier if I eat avocados consistently.

    Sliced avocado on whole meal toast with either poached or scrambled eggs on top is a great breakfast.

    I make pico de gallo/salsa with 1 small tomato, chopped red or green onion, 2 serrano peppers (hot), a good amount of cilantro, fresh lime juice, and 2-3 cloves of fresh garlic, 1/4 avocado, approx 1/4 cup low sodium v-8 juice. I spray with Pam , 2-4 corn tortillas and broil till crispy in my toaster oven. Mix it all in a bowl. serve with broken tortillas and celery sticks. The fresh garlic is crazy healthy for you, fighting viruses and bacteria and a lot more. The cilantro has been proven to cleanse the blood of heavy metals like mercury. All ingredients are super healthy. If I have a high amount of calories left to consume due to a lot of exercise, I up the avocado to 1/2. The fat in the avocado helps to absorb nutrients. I eat this almost every day or other day as a kind of health "tonic".

    I also make this recipe so yummy.

    Whenever I have steamed tilapia I make a topping to cover my tilapia.

    I fried in olive oil chopped tomatoes, green peppers, white or red onions, add a little bit of salt and some lime, then add chopped cilantro and then add 1/2 avocado cut in small cubes. Remove from heat and put it on top of your tilapia. Not sure if it's healthy but is so delicious.
