    One of the simplest delicious ways to have avocado:
    Cut in half
    Remove pit
    Score surface, leaving it inside the peel like a little bowl
    Sprinkle with a bit of salt and your favorite chili powder (check out www.spicehouse.com for the best selection ever!)
    Squeeze lime over surface
    Eat with spoon

    A little extreme, but it makes a great raw pudding. Puree with agave, cocoa camino, coconut oil and vanilla, chill for a great vegan/raw treat.

    And you can add a banana for chocolate banana pudding.......mmmmmmmm. It's so decadant!

    Great ideas! I could eat avocados just by themselves.. had some today sliced in a salad with chicken.

    You can mash it with a fork and add greek yoghurt and cumin/salt/pepper and it makes a nice salad dressing.

    Also a favorite deli type sandwich of mine, toasted whole grain bread, with kraft olive oil mayo, melted provolone, a generous layer of sliced smoked turkey, and dressed with bean sprouts (or lettuce if you don't like them) & a sliced quarter to half of an avocado.

    Yum.

    I love fresh avocado.

    Vegetarian Avocado and Veggie Wrap:
    fresh avocado
    red, orange, and yellow sweet bell peppers
    onion
    garlic
    red pepper
    fresh spinach
    lite cream cheese
    low calorie/low carb tortilla

    Sautee peppers, onion and garlic with olive oil spray
    Spread about 1tbsp cream cheese on tortilla
    Sprinkle red pepper over the cream cheese
    add onion, peppers, avocado and spinach
    wrap and eat!

    One wrap is about 250 calories.

    add in some green pepper sauce
    maybe a little sour cream, salsa if desired. light and delicious!

    I normally cut it in half, take the stone out and fill the hole half way with balsamic vinegar and a bit of salt. AMAZING!

    I like to cut them up and put a little salt on to eat. Sometimes a squirt of lemon.

    Another way is to make a panini type sandwich with turkey, avocado by itself or blended with a little mayo, provolone cheese, spinach, etc. It's good on the George Forman grill.

    Homemade guacamole is sooo good! I love it with homemade taquitos!

    One of my favorite healthy recipe blogs is skinnytaste.com and she has, in the last few days, posted some avacado recipes.. Two that I can remember off the top of my head are a avacado buttermilk dressing and an avacado egg salad.. They both look delicious! I really love the blog, the author always puts all the nutritional info with the recipe.. she even has the current and old weight watchers point system included in that info.. It's a great blog with some pretty amazing recipes!
