    I love them in salads, and, of course guacomole! When I was on Jenny Craig years ago, it was one of the foods you were told to avoid like the plague. Glad I am not on JC anymore. ;)

    I love avocado so I'll eat them with a spoon out of the shell.

    They're delicious on sandwiches and salads.

    Throw them in a blender or food processor with some lime juice for yummy salad dressing. They also go well in smoothies.

    Breakfast burritos. Heck, any burritos.

    I am from Southern California so I'm actually having a hard time thinking of a way I would not eat them. I've even had avocado ice cream.

    Guacamole, chopped up in salads, sliced thin and used as topping for sammich or burger. Toss in smoothie for extra creaminess. Or heck, straight out of the peel with a spoon. I LOVE avocados!

    I mash them up, mix with salsa and shredded cheese, then dip grilled chicken in it. It's on of my favorite meals. I'll use ground turkey as well.

    I like em plain, on top of eggs, in a sandwich, etc.

    Also good in a "romance" situation. But that's probably TMI. :)

    I love them plain or with a little salt. Guacamole is always a good choice. I like them in burritos(my favorite).

    OMG I love it in Guacamole! I also cut them in half, and eat them with spoon (with nothing else). They also take good on sandwiches and burgers, you can even mash it up to make it more like a spread than chunks.

    On sandwiches in place of mayo! Also on turkey burgers... which I am having tonight! =)

    I like them on hamburger....with lettuce and tomato. This would be my improvement over the days of putting mayo and catsup on the burger.....

    I often sub avacado where I would have used mayo. I have a friend that swears avacado mashed up with tuna is better than normal tuna salad....have yet to try that one though.

    I LOVE THEM. my favorite is to slice them and lay them out with salt, and place a grilled chicken breast with a dollop of sour cream. its awesome.

    I LOVE AVOCADO!! I actually make it with egg whites, jalapeno peppers, spinach and some salsa on a slice of 45 calories and delicious bread!! I make Quinoa, avocado, cucumber and tomato with a splash of red wine vinegar and a splash of olive oil. BBQ chicken salad, grill up a piece of chicken, bbq sauce, lettuce, a bit of corn, a bit of black beans and throw in avocado... YUM!!! I will put in on anything that I can.... Have fun!!

    I eat them with everything. Salads, sandwiches, salsa, plain, cut them up and put em in ice cold milk. I love guacamole. I don't like them in smoothies for some reason.

    Bacon lettuce and tomato sandwich with avocado slices or

    Avocado dip

    1 avocado
    a few diced up tomatoe chunks
    pinch of ground cummin
    pinch of taco seasoning or make your own
    squeeze of lime
    chopped up fresh cilantro
    a 1/4 teaspoon of chipotle
    salt

    Too bad I don't have the exact ingredients. It kind of depends on your taste and the size and type of avocado.

    I found them hard to eat at first, especially alone.... The taste was overwhelming for me, but I can eat them in a salad as long as they get a little salt on them its taste good. I am going to try others suggestions as well because I know avocado is good for you.

    Toast a piece of bread, get a clove of garlic and rub it on one side of the toast then put sliced avocado on the toast with salt a super good snack or breakfast

    I also love

    Cilantro, cucumber, tomato, red onion, lime, lemon, Serrano pepper, with shrimp too make a good little ceviche salad you can do without the shrimp too and is still so good :)

    On just about everything. Sliced on burgers, sandwiches, eggs. A good "table side" guacamole is HARD to beat. Ever had a BLTA?

    You can make pudding out of 1 avocado, 1 ripe banana, 2 tablespoon cocoa powder and 2 tablespoons agave syrup. Very yum!
