    Wait, you've never had avocado before? Not even guacamole?


    Anyway, I eat it in every way listed above. Also, if you use your fingers to clear the flesh from the skin, be sure to rub the residue in to your cuticles before you wash your hands.. the oils are very good for your skin!

    - Excellent in an egg burrito (scrambled egg made with fat free milk, salsa, avocado in a small or half whole wheat tortilla)
    - Great on top of an open faced grilled cheese made with low-fat cheese and tomato

    Nope, never had guacamole. I didn't like how it looked, so I never tried it.

    Unless it has some salsa and lime juice mixed with it, I'd suggest looking at it from across the room with a small amount of suspicion.

    It's a fruit. Just eat it as is.

    Or mash it up and make guacamole. Or mash it up, mix it with malt vinegar and spread it on toast. Or cut it up and put it on a sammich.

    Cut it in half and remove the pit. Put the halves into a bowl, lightly salt it, and eat that mofo with a fork.

    I scoop it out of the skin and put it raw on sandwiches LOVE it. Keep the pit with the unused portion and it stays good longer

    I cut them in half, remove the pit, slice off the outer shell, dice them up and put them in salads, wraps, pasta, just about anything! You can also spread them on a wrap for a quick snack. You can just eat them all by themselves. I really love them!

    My mouth is watering as I type this. Love avocado and I've used it a bunch of different ways. I like mashing it with a fork, adding a little pepper, and smearing it on a toasted bagel or sandwich thin and add slivered radishes on top. Heavenly.

    I ususaly cut in in half, remove the pit, lightly salt it and sprinkle it with lime juice. Then it is right out of the skin....

    This is exactly what I do with 'em.

    If I want to change things up, I'll mash 1/2 of one up and spread it on some sourdough, then pile on low-fat turkey breast lunchmeat, cooked bacon, tomato slices, and swiss cheese. Throw under the broiler or in a toaster oven for a few minutes and eat.

    I make Guacamole with mine, some avocado, garlic, tiny bit of salt and lime juice. Tomato's are also really yummy in it. Then I eat it with home made tortilla chips, or even on bread of in a sammich. :)

    Eating it is the easy part, making sure its ripe is the hard part! It doesnt get much worse than an under ripe avocado :( make sure its has some give to it when you apply pressure, if its hard dont bother, let it hang out w/ some bananas for a while.

    I LOVE avocado, i just cut it in half, remove the pit, then cut the fruit length and width wise in the skin then squeeze the sides nad the little cubes pop up, add salt and YUM!!!

    our local brewery also serves a jerk chicken pizza w/ avocado and sour cream on top, DELICIOUS!!!

    nom nom nom, so hungry now...
