    i adore them. but i prefer the small over the large ones. my mom is the opposent..

    i hear there is a recipe for chocolate desserts out there that use them.
    i saw a recipe that used them to make ice cream also.
    you can use them in salads, sandwiches (i like on a philli steak), pasta ...

    egg noodles + tomatos (dried or fresh) + avocado + bacon/ham/turkey bacon/pancetta + ranch dressing or ranch powder with yogurt + chicken = YUMMY!

    my hubby makes that and its sooooooooo good.
    smoothies, and you can find lots of those recipes online.

    try searching health websites or google healthy recipe sites to look in.

    In smoothies. As a part of vegan chocolate mousse. Ripe avocado tastes creamy/buttery so it is more versatile than expected. Try this one:

    Avocados are great! For a quick lazy person's guacamole blend the following:

    Avocado
    Salsa
    Lime Juice
    (optiona) dab of fat free sour cream

    It comes out so creamy and good that I've replaced the mayo in my chicken salad sandwich with this.

    Salt and pepper and a sprinkle of red wine vinegar or lime juice. Eat with a spoon.

    I never really liked avocados either. But I will eat them if I sprinkle on some garlic/onion powder and put them face up in the toaster oven.


    Ooh, that sounds reeeeeeeeeeeeally good. I have a few avocados that I need to use up before they go bad.

    That being said, how long do they tend to last, unpeeled?

    OH MY!! I could bathe in avocado if I had the money. I eat them all the time!! I love love love it. making it into a dip is always great but I do it by cutting a tiny piece of onion (into tiny, tiny little bits) and dicing a piece of jalapeno (into tiny little bits too) and mixing it until creamy and add some lemon pepper or a squeeze of lemon.
    I also make a tostada with it. I get the shell of the tostada and mash avocado into a spread like consistency and spread it onto the shell, I then add boiled chicken (boil the chicken with garlic powder) and sprinkle some shredded cheese and add some shredded ice burg! YUMM!
    I can eat avocado in slices too just slice then thin and add some lemon pepper to them and eat away!
    I also like to eat it in salads.... in sandwiches too! Just start off small and then you will become an addict (maybe)

    Use it in place of mayo, on a whole grain sandwich with turkey. Or I just cut them in half and spray soy sauce on it and eat that way. They are filling and high fiber and they are amazing in place of mayo!

    Sliced with sliced hard-boiled egg and sliced pickles on a sandwich.
    As a spread with lemon juice and salt.
    Guacamole!

    slice it up and sneak it in your turkey sandwiches, etc.

    i LOVE scrambled eggs mixed with avocado cubes...mm

    People say its not meant to be cooked so idk if you wanna attempt that...its not spicy at all i think it was just the spread! xox
