    I like to take 1/2 an avocado and mash it up. Then, I add a can of chicken (minced up a little bit), a tid bit of salsa, a tid bit of parmesan cheese and then blend all of that together. I eat it like normal chicken salad on bread (with a piece of swiss cheese) or on crackers like a dip.

    First thoughts were too funny to mention... tee hee he...

    But more seriously... Have you had Avocado Ice Cream! ! ! Or even just made into a shake with vanilla or green tea ice cream as the base? Add in some cantalope or honey dew melon if you have some! YUM YUM YUMMY.

    I tend to eat them right out of the shell with a lil salt or sugar depending on my mood, or sliced on sandwiches, in salads, guacamole (of course) or added to salsa! So many ways to enjoy them.

    Yes I make my own avocado ice cream, so good. Haven't had it made into a shake using those things though, it does make an amazing shake. Love it the other way as well.

    Today I had avocado pudding. MMMMMM

    I think you may have been the only one to notice the quote at the bottom!!
    I have never had or even heard of avocado ice cream, maybe I live to far north in the snow country but next time I travel south I am going to look for it.

    I love half an avocado smashed with kosher salt, pepper, and fresh lime juice. Spread it on a toasted whole wheat pita. Top with a fried egg. It's amazing.

    Also, this dip is phenomenal...http://www.twopeasandtheirpod.com/creamy-avocado-yogurt-dip/

    My favorite: A BLTA (turkey bacon, lettuce, tomato and avacado). There's no need for mayo. I also like it just plain sliced with a little sea salt and pepper. YUM!

    You can use it as a replacement for butter in recipes - can make them vegan.

    Guacamole of course with lots of cilantro and lime, yum!!

    I made a crab salad on avocado last week and it was delicious!!

    Also, slices of avocado and tomatoes with fresh basil and some good olive oil and balsamic. Yum...that says summertime to me!

    sauteed in garlic and spices and crammed into a mini pita with skim ricotta and cilantro and the cold/hot combo is amazing. Put the rest of the cooked avocado bits around a flower salad for some super scrumptiousness!!!!!

    Cut an avocado in half.
    Remove the pit.
    Leave the skin on.
    Sprinkle your favorite salt/seasoning over the avocado.
    Fill the pit hole with feta cheese.
    Drizzle over with extra virgin olive oil.
    Sprinkle with crumbled bacon or real bacon bits.
    Dig in with a spoon and welcome to heaven.

    Half it, score it, sprinkle with siracha and a little parm cheese and broil it just til the cheese is bubbly. Delicious eaten plain, with chicken or of course with tortilla chips.

    Alton Brown's guacamole recipe is hands-down the best...Use it as a spread on sandwiches, with pita chips, dip other veggies in it, eat it with a spoon...ok, maybe not the last one ;P

    3 Haas avocados, halved, seeded and peeled
    1 lime, juiced
    1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
    1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
    1/2 teaspoon cayenne
    1/2 medium onion, diced
    2 Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
    1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
    1 clove garlic, minced

    I never use the cilantro, but I make this at least once a month. They are high in calories but certainly not empty ones, so I just make room for it.
