    I love to eat avocado and tomatoes on Ezekiel bread toast, topped with everything but the bagel seasoning. The best thing ever!
    Also, make a salad (cucumber, tomato, red pepper, black beans, feta, one whole lime and baby greens chopped up very small, or add cilantro). It's so good and refreshing for dinner.

    We had some leftover mi cuit salmon and alioli from a weekend dinner party at our place, and a ripe avocado that needed using. Made a pretty good salad.

    I love avocado with just balsamic vinegar and a little olive oil. Yum.

    mash it up, stir in a little vinegar (or a lot, I love vinegar lol)..some garlic, salt/pepper and use in tossed salad as dressing. Also mashed, with dill (or dill relish), lemon juice and a little onion makes fabulous tartar sauce for my broiled fish. :)

    On Masterchef Australia I saw a new way of using avocado. Freeze it and grate it onto other foods.

    Made a dressing last night with avocado. Juice of around 6 fresh limes, some monk fruit/erythritol sweetener (could use honey or maple syrup or sugar) -- around 1/3 of a cup, tsp salt, 1/4 cup cilantro (can use stems too), a clove or two of fresh garlic, one deseeded jalapeno, 1/2 of a fresh, ripe avocado, 1/2 or so cup of water, a TBS or so of EVOO (Olive Oil) and around a tsp of Psyllium powder (great thickener for dressings to reduce amount of oil).

    Put it over a Mexican Chicken Salad w/ Romaine (chopped fine), lots of chopped cilantro, black beans (rinsed and drained), red and yellow pepper, cherry tomatoes, more avocado, some fresh corn right off the cob, some chickpea spicy salad toppers (Simple Truth -- Frys or Krogers) that are gluten free that we love and some cooked, diced chicken breast. Just a touch of Mexican cheese (we like Queso Anejo, which is the drier cheese that's similar to parmesan) over the top. Makes a great Summer salad.

    It's not a recipe, but I do put them in and on so many things. This morning, for example, I had a bagel with sauteed veggies and a scrambled egg. I topped the egg mixture with some diced avocado. So delish!

    I made the grapefruit/avocado salad tonight so thought I'd post a photo. Avocados were really cheap today and I already have a bag of grapefruit so I will be eating this a few more times in the next week. Also, if you add just a couple of drops of oil (avocado, sesame, truffle or olive) to the ponzu it gives it a slightly richer feel.

    My Mom made that salad but she included shrimp. The dressing was a vinaigrette with honey and celery seed. Delish!
