How do you eat yours?! I've only ever had avocado as guac (never liked it, but now I'm giving it another go!) so I'm looking for some simple ways to use it? Or things it goes well with?

    I like adding it to bean salads, regular salads, plain or with a sprinkle of lemon juice, with fish, on top of roasted sweet potato, on a sandwich in lieu of mayo.

    One of my favorite salads is avocado chunks, cucumber chunks, and a dressing made of soy sauce, rice vinegar and honey.

    I eat them everyday. 1/4 of one in my morning smoothie. I eat them along side meals instead of dressings and sauces. I love the creamy texture.

    Love it in just about any salad. Great with tuna. I haven't had it in awhile but a fried egg, rice, cheese, avocado, black beans, maybe some salsa or cholula suace.

    We eat this recipe all the time during the summer (but if you use OJ, cut the amount - I use a few tablespoons of lime juice usually).

    I love it spread or sliced on sandwiches; diced up and added to any Mexican dish (on tacos or enchiladas, on a Mexican casserole, etc.); mixed into tuna or chicken salad instead of mayo; fry a sunny-side up egg and put it in half an avocado and eat it with a fork; I dip carrots in a mashed avocado; pretty much any way possible!

    No joke, I am topping my buffalo burger tonight with avocado. It really gives a great compliment to any meat.

    There's no bad way to eat one! :) I recently discovered cut into chunks and added to chicken salad is pretty tasty. But usually I just eat them with salt.

    Best way, cut it in half remove the pit, slice it into cubes, salt/pepper and eat with a spoon. YUM! That and cottage cheese is a great breakfast or dinner!
    I like using half of the cubes (scoop um out with a spoon) on top of Quinoa/black bean/sauteed vege bowl, especially if I make it spicy, a great cooling addition!
    I like avacado much better than guac :)

    I put it on burgers and sandwiches or eat it sliced with a little bit of salt and lemon.

    Or cut it in half and put a raw egg in each half. That's a power breakfast!

    I love avocados! I use them in salads, on top of chili, sliced on sandwiches and burgers, mashed up on toast with an egg. I also love to mash half an avocado and mix it with tuna instead of mayo, add a little salt and pepper. Plain is good also.

    I make a salad with avocado, mango, and red onion with a lime vinaigrette. Also I like to cut them in half, scoop of little out to make room, then crack an egg into it. Bake in a 425 degree for 15 to 20 minutes. Top with a little fresh salsa. It's one of my favorite breakfasts. We had tacos for dinner last night and since I am trying to get away from eating tortillas I decided to try this with the taco meat. Again I scooped up some of the avocado to make more room then I filled it with taco meat that I had mixed with chopped onion, tomatoes, and black olives. I topped it with a little cheddar jack shredded cheese. I broiled it until the cheese melted. Then I took some lettuce in a bowl and scooped the broiled avocado out of it's skin and placed it on top of the bed of lettuce.

    I used to make an insanely good pudding with avocado, banana, almond milk, and chocolate protein powder all blended up.

    Otherwise, I usually eat avocado on toast (with a sprinkle of salt, pepper, and some lemon juice) for breakfast, or in salads and sandwiches.
