Oh how I love avocados! I use mine in salads, to top off a turkey club/other sandwich, or just eat it straight up with a sprinkle of salt and black pepper0

AVOCADO ERR'THING! Ok sorry.
You can make avocado toast, you can slice it in half and bake an egg in the pit (I personally find this to be gross, but it looks pretty), you can slice it, squeeze a lemon & some salt and pepper and throw it on top of a salad, you can put it in a smoothie (but find a recipe first - every time I try to wing it, I wind up making something that tastes as bad as it looks), or - my favorite - chop it and put it in a wrap. Oh, and, guacamole.
Here's a list of avocado recipes that look pretty good: http://greatist.com/health/39-deliciously-unexpected-healthy-avocado-recipes0 -
Thanks very much I didn't have a clue what you do with them haha0

you can make guacamole a million different ways...I usually just smash the avocado with a fork, add lime, salt, pepper, and a little bit of salsa or hot sauce.
It is also good just plain on salads or sandwiches
My grandma used to make a salad with grapefruit and avocado...citrus pairs super great with it!0 -

Cool that sounds tasty what you gran used to make0 -
I never realised there was so much you could do with it either0

I like to mash it and either use on sandwiches or burgers. I also use some of the mashed mixed with nonfat greek yogurt as salad dressing. It's also really good diced up in taco salad, can be mixed with tuna, chicken or turkey as a replacement to mayo. I've also replaced the oil in brownies with avacado.
Of course there's always the tortilla chip to mouth method, a personal favorite of mine, I just add a little lemon juice, chili and garlic powders.0 -
I also like it in the following salad:
Lettuce
Shrimp
Blue cheese crumbles
Avocado
lightly dressed with either a vinagarette or blue cheese dressing...0 -
These all sound amazing thanks everyone .. I hope I like it as I've never tried it before either0
-
On a tortilla with shrimp and peppers. So good.0

Just make sure it's ripe before you use it.
It should have a little give when you squeeze it.0 -
As above, check it's ripe first.
There's a great youtube video showing how to cut them (stalk bit out, run a knife around the stone, then twist) then just scoff the inside, they're lovely!0 -
luten free crisp bread, some cream cheese, avocado on top.
avocado, tomato and mozzarella with a dashing of balsamic vinegar.
mashed avocado with mashed feta as a spread.
sliced avocado and humus sandwich, lettuce and tomato are optional.0 -
Avocado hummus....puree chickpeas and avocado together with some spices.0
-
Thanks everyone I will be sure to check its ripe!0

Itll be slightly soft! and the skin a little brown!
I eat it almost every other day. Its SO GOOD. My fave is just slice it up and put a little bit of Old bay on it, or have it some boiled eggs. Simple yet tasty snack. Its great on salads, fish tacos, pretty much everything haha. Enjoy!0 -
I quarter, peel (http://www.californiaavocado.com/blog/why-you-should-peel-avocados), and mash with a fork and a heavy sprinkle of Lime/Garlic/Cilantro (http://www.truelemon.com/true-lime-garlic-cilantro-cooking), then use it as a dip for veggies and/or meat.0
