    I'm going to try one on Friday. On a salad do/ can I slice it? Or use it as a dressing additive?
    Slice it or cube it for a salad! :)

    avocado on toast with a fried egg on top!
    avocado and cheese and crackers
    avocado and goat cheese on toast
    guacamole!!!!
    cut into slices with salt and pepper
    used like mayo in a turkey sandwich

    My mother's friend made this delicious salad of red quinoa, walnuts, dried cranberries and avocado served over lettuce. Apparently it was a Dr. Oz recipe but I haven't been able to find it to see if I'm missing any ingredients. I ate it with Brianna's poppy seed dressing and it was awesome.

    Sliced avocado is great in sandwiches, or you could make a little "taco salad" with black beans, corn, romaine, lowfat "taco mix" cheese, tomatoes, diced avocado and lime, or it's great in sushi, on a burger...oh avocado...so tasty!

    I cube the avocado, mix with salsa and serve on top of a chicken breast.

    Guacamole is an amaaaaaazing snack! With some pita chips it is healthy and amazing! You just add lemon juice, orange juice ( squeezed... not store bought) pepper, salt and other seasonings you like and boom! You have the best snack in the world!!

    I make an avacado pasta that knocks my socks off :)

    Scoop out the insides of two avacados
    place in a blender/food processor
    add a couple tea or tablespoons of olive oil (to your taste)
    Juice from 1/2 a lemon
    a couple cloves of garlic
    blend until most of the chunks are gone.

    Gently toss with hot angel hair pasta. Garnish with a bit of lemon zest. Enjoy!

    Does not reheat well. A yummy alternative to fatty alfredo sauce.

    yum - like an avocado pesto

    I'm so glad you posted this! I've had 1 avocado ever...and I just ate it with a spoon. Which was delicious, but now I have a whole world to explore! :wink:

    Never heard of adding shrimp and cucumbers to guac, sounds interesting to try.

    I'm going to put half an avocado in my salad tonight. We'll eat them with just about everything. When they start to get too soft, I make guacamole: chopped tomato, minced sweet onion, minced garlic, cilantro (if got), a dash of Worcestershire sauce, some cayenne pepper or hot sauce, lime juice, and (God forgive me) cream cheese.

    I like to slice half an avocado and use it instead of butter/margarine in a sandwich. Drizzle some lime juice over the other half and it's stone in a tupperware tub and use over the following days.

    Not had a chance to read through the other replies so I'll be back! Love love love avocado.

    I never liked the avocado before, and I kept buying them and then wasting them. I like them best just put on top of something - eggs, chicken, burger, chips, etc. To help me get used to the flavor/texture I started by putting salsa on it, they are great with salsa! I did find out that I really like them! However, i do not like them warm (I tried to make a mexican omelet, yuk; and a spicy chicken meal with avocado) - the texture and flavor change when they are heated or cooked. Right now I'm sticking to room temp or cold.

    Oh, and I forgot to add - avocados are hard to find ripe, they are often over ripe or not even close (I have figured out when they are ripe now). I almost completely gave up trying because I always ate them too early of after they were any good. Either way, too ripe or over ripe, they are nasty!

    This one may not be for all but I poached a couple eggs and made a wrap with a little cream cheese, tomato and avocado. Oh it was good...

    I can eat them like candy so I have to buy the small ones and really watch myself. Yes I know they're good for you but all good things in moderation eh?
