Sometimes I just cut them in half, salt them, add a dab of mayo and just spoon them into my mouth! I love guacamole. I like to chunk them and throw them in a salad or slice them and add to a sandwich. And I like to make shrimp salad and fill the hollow with it.

I mostly cut them up in salads. They're good stuffed with something like tuna salad, too. And of course there's always guacamole or salad dressings.

But when I have a serious avocado craving I sprinkle a half of one with Lawry's seasoned salt, add fresh lemon juice (#1 choice is Meyer lemons), and eat it with a spoon. Yum!

Nothing special. I just cut them, remove the big pit, scoop with a spoon to get the skin off, then slice and add to salads, sandwiches, or anything else. I love their buttery rich fresh taste. A little lemon or lime juiced drizzled on them keeps looking fresh.

Guacamole, or I put them on salads or sandwiches. I'll just eat them plain too. I love them!

I like them plain, or in guacamole with chips. Yummy. My great uncle lived in Glendale, CA. and he had a huge tree full of them. Once he pick a box full and sent them to me, and they were ripe by the time they got here.

have you ever had a avacado burger??? you slice and add along with tomato, and lettuce...at least a 2 napkin burger!

Well this is what I did. I peeled 2 avocados slice and salted them and ate with a fork....DELISH!!! Thanks!!!

Good on a BLT or tuna sandwich.

I just had a cheese and avocado sandwich for lunch. I love them in salads and of course guacamole. Here are a bunch of recipes on this website. It has some really yummy sounding ones.

WOW!! I looked up the calorie and fat content. I didn't know they were so high in clories and fat. I can't eat them to often.!! LOL!!

I love, love, love avacado. My dad and I used to have a thing with avacados. No one else in the house liked them but me and him. It was our special little secret treat. He always liked a dab of mayo in the center, and I like it that way best too. Also cut up on salads. I remember in my hippie days, I loved a pita pocket sandwich with avacado, sprouts, tomato, jack cheese, and just a bit of ketchup and mayo mixed to make a french type dressing to moisten it up a bit.
They were to die for....I probably will be looking for the goodies to make that again. I dont often see pita pockets, or sprouts around here much. I will just have to look harder.

Thanks for the post, great memories!

I slice them up, salt them and eat with a fork also.

A few days ago, Sue asked how people make taco salad and Clare35 (?) posted this recipe for avocado dressing. I forgot to thank her for posting it, so I hope she reads this because it's awesome! Great on sliced tomatoes.

1 avocado, peeled and pitted
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
1/4 cup olive oil
1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
1/2 teaspoon salt

Mix all together in blender or food processor until smooth. (I added a little more hot sauce and a tad more salt.)

I know they may be high in calories, but they also contain the "good cholesterol", so maybe eating them isnÂt so bad for you. Besides they are so good!
Salad for 2.
Take a few thin slices of Vidalia onion- halve the slices
Cut a tomato in half, top to bottom, slice
Peal and pit the avocado, slice in half, the long way, (One half for each salad ) Slice each half- as you make each slice, transfer it to the individual plates, alternating a tomato slice and some onion between each slice of avocado . Fan the slices out , salt and pepper to taste and drizzle ranch dressing on top.

I've never tasted avocado.

I've never tasted one either.

I just love them!!! I really like the huge Florida ones that resemble bowling balls. lol They have a lot of meat to them.

When we lived in Hawaii our friend had a huge avocado tree in her back yard. She hated avocados and would bring them to us by the shopping bag full. I sure miss those days. I saw in our Commissary yesterday that they had the Haas avocados for $1.19 each. You won't find me paying that much for one.

I never fix them as my kids don't care for them.

Love them just cut in pieces on a salad but really love to make an easy guacamole. Just mash up an avocado, give it a generous squeeze of lemon juice and add in some picante sauce (preferably Pace Chunky Medium). Oh wow, that is good. We love it on a taco salad or just with chips.

I love avocados and eat them at least once a week. I swear, between my avocado's and oatmeal, my cholestrol has come down 40 points. My doctor said it is because of the oatmeal and avocado's.

I tried to eat one of those Florida Avocado's and didn't really like them. I don't know if the one I had was ripe since it was really hard! It had sat on the counter for a week and never did get soft. Do they have a flavor? I didn't detect a flavor at all. Perhaps the one I had was just a dud and I need to try another one.

Sandwiches and burgers, in or on omelettes, in salads and in guacamole. DH just eats them plain with mayo.

Nothing like a California Haas avocado.

Cut in half de-seed (save seed to sprout another tree) dribble on a little horseradish juice, scoop and eat! I'm the only one in my home who likes avocado so I usually just cut into salads and sandwiches, MMM Thin sliced turkey breast a bit of cranberry sauce, avocado slices, salt, pepper and a smidge of mayo. My favorite day after Thanksgiving treat. OMG all these posts about eating avocado my mouth is watering!

I have one every day sliced in a sandwich with egg and chicken livers grilled panini style. And I have the best cholesterol my doctor has seen. Haas are $1.79 a piece here.

I like them just salted best of all. I rarely buy them and only buy one at a time when I do because they are a 'dangerous' food to me. I could eat them all day long.

I toast a whole wheat bagel, spread with cream cheese, top with sliced avocado and salt and pepper. Delish!!
