So I tried avocado for the first time this morning and I really disliked it. I know that its super good for me so I want to try it again. What are some good ways to make it that will help the bland taste?

    I love them.
    But I particularly love guacamole, avocado mixed in cottage cheese, avocado on toast, baked avocado with an egg....

    and just: with a spoon.

    Thin slices on a sandwich. Or small cubes in a salad. I put a bit in my smoothie. But guacomole is the best!

    I made black bean & avocado enchiladas from BudgetBytes.com the other day and I LOVE THEM. I double the amount of avocado in the recipe and make it spicy.

    Its a good cheese-like substitute for adding to eggs, etc. I could eat them plain. I love avocados.

    I just put a pinch of salt over some sliced avocado, or a little bit of soy sauce. Otherwise I mash it up, add chopped onion and your favorite salsa, lime juice, pinch of salt- have it as a guac topping on a salad or something. Maybe with chips. Just have to make sure you're eating them when they're ripe. If they're super hard, they're not ready. If it looks like an over ripe green/black banana inside, too ripe. Small window for maximum flavor. Oh, you could also mash it up really well, and replace your mayo with it. I've done that before. I always have to add just a tiny bit of salt to it, because it doesn't have much flavor on its own.

    Avocados are good for you, but if you really don't like them there's no point in eating them. That said, I like them on a BLT, usually in place of the lettuce or sprinkle them with seasoned salt or sea salt.

    They've got to be ripe or they don't taste so good. Maybe you will like guacamole, but there are several different ways to make that too. I personally love avocados.

    Smoothie! I add avocados to smoothies or have even made avocado ice cream. Don't Judge.

    Anything you used mayo for, they are good in baking, on sandwiches or salads, and of course guacamole is god's gift to people. When I make avocado toast I add sliced tomato and a sprinkle of salt and onion powder...mmmm...I'm hungry :)

    cut an avocado into 6 slices and wrap 1/2 a piece of bacon around each slice. sprinkle of chili powder and bake at 425 for 12 mins. So good and I am NOT a big fan of avocado. Seen this ...tried it and loved it.

    It's amazing in a salad with orange or peach. Even works well together with strawberries. Other than that it's great in wraps or on toast. I usually like to put some sea salt or garlic salt on top.

    There are so many way to eat avocado, but one of my favorite ways is to make slices in each direction without removing the meat of the avocado, put a little hot sauce in the slices, little salt, add some motz. cheese and throw under the broiler. The cheese melts into a crisp, and the warm avocado is sooo good.

    Lemon juice, olive oil, and coarse sea salt. Mash them together with a fork and it is heaven in your mouth.
