Do you eat them?  How do you eat them?  I usually just sprinkle them with sea salt/pepper and eat them with a spoon.  Looking for other ideas...

I love avocados and often eat them with a spoon and some French dressing. I put them on tacos, of course, and make a salad with diced avocados, tomatoes and fresh mozzarella dressed with basil, garlic and rice vinegar. Just recently, I discovered a recipe for a shrimp and avocado salad that I like a lot. You can find it here http://www.publix.com/aprons/meals/MainDish/SimpleMeal.do?mealId=8088&mealGroupId=1000 

I love them with prawns and cocktail sauce mmmmmmmmmmmm

 

also in a smoothie it makes them nice and creamy

 

chopped up in a salad with chopped fresh tomatoes, cucumber, olive oil and herbs mmmmmmmmm nice side salad to meat or fish

They make a beautiful creamy soup.

just mash and heat with a lemon zested stock.

attractively sliced avocados and lemon slices to garnish....cilantro?

This is decadent.

Yuck.

In a Salad. Also, mashed up in tuna salad.

Yuck.

I love it on my toast for breakfast....

Awesome with prawn cocktails!

 

Brilliant in salads.

 

Can't see myself eating one alone tho?  Or seasoning it?

 

Think this maybe a continent thing.  Prezzo resturant does a tricolour salad, it's mozzarella cheese, tomatoes, avocado and rocket...it's lush with black pepper and a bit of balsamic vinegar!

I like to have some chunks in my sauce,.. you can make it as chunky or as smooth as you prefer. As I type this I am eating this sauce/dip on cucumber slices for lunch.. The other week I had some chicken breast sauteed with mushrooms onions and sun dried tomatoes and spooned this over top of it.  Cook off some  shrimp and chill them, chop up into peices and add this sauce (onions optional) with a bit of lime to make a really good shrimp salad.  Add a little oil and vinegar  and mix up a good salad dressing. The possibilities are limitless.
