Avocados

Diced, in salads, with some accompanying crunch, like croutons or nuts. I like walnuts and pecans best.

Avocado sliced on a cheeseburger. It balances the fats.

I like to make avocado mayonnaise

Guacamole!

Before avocado on toast was hipster food, my godmother introduced me to it , she had been making it for years, with just mashed avocado, lemon juice, salt and pepper or seasoned salt and pepper, on regular toast, for breakfast. Love.

Eat half with a spoon, or top with seafood salad.

Asian avocado ice cream. Don't knock it until you've tried it.

Dropping them on hipster's head as they pass by my apartment on the fourth floor. It helps loosen the shell so they can get their nuts out. Oh, I mean, the avocado's nut.

R5, was your godmother a pre-Hipster?

Really good on a BLT also known as a BLTA or drop the lettuce Bacon Avocado Tomato.

Mom always served it sliced as a side. Sprinkle some salt and that's all you need.

I had a really good salad once in Key West is some fancy restaurant with Avocados. Basically it was half an avocado sliced and fanned out, sprinkled with about a tablespoon of crumbled blue cheese, drizzled with olive oil and a splash of balsamic vinegar and pinch of salt and pepper. DELICIOUS! I still make this at home every once and a while. Just don't over do the blue cheese.

Guacamole on a bacon cheese burger is also delicious. You need to salty bacon to pair with the avocado.

on shrimp and radish soft tacos. mmmmm, mashed with a bit of lime and cayenne pepper powder

The pits make excellent anal balls. No big deal if you lose one—they’re biodegradable.

I shove them whole into my butt.

They go great with almost any type of Mexican food.

An avocado plain is delicious.

Someone mentioned avocado mayo - I add sour cream, mayo and a little lemon juice and it's delicious.

R8, I call that sandwich a BLAT because it's a funny sound.

Avocados make good fudge because of the creamy factor. There are several recipes on-line, don't remember which one I tried several years ago but it was good.

Avocado slices, lightly salted, and a scoop of cottage cheese makes a wonderful pairing.

Avocado slices or chunks are a dynamite garnish for tortilla soup.

[quote]A scoop of cottage cheese looks just like white vomit.

Fixed.

Actually it looks like exactly what it is....a scoop of cottage cheese. Vomit is not white. But you knew that.

If you ever make spicy chicken soup, a.k.a. "tortilla soup", float some diced avocados on top! Wonderful addition and balances out the spiciness.

So I'm doing a few weeks of carblessness between Thanksgiving and Christmas, and am eating eggs with veg for breakfast. Yesterday it was an avocado-parmesean omelette, which FYI is a great combination, today it was a spinach-onion scramble topped with pico de gallo AND a slice of avocado! Mmmm…. dieting....

I eat them on any style street tacos.....Hell, I can eat avocados on almost anything really. Just be sure to be generous with lemon juice and a sprinkle of salt.

"I like to fuck 'em!"

Mash half an avocado with some salt and pepper. Put on a rice cake with a slice or two of smoked salmon on top. A little sour cream and chives on top of that if you feel like getting fancy.

Avocado is great on sandwiches be it turkey and swiss or a baconeggandcheese.

In my family we had then as dessert, mashed with some sugar. In the school cafeteria they used to serve half avocados with a mix of tuna and mayo or shrimp and mayo in the middle. It was pretty good and I remember telling my mom about it, who was surprised that they could be used in a savory dish.

I like them sliced with scrambled eggs, toast and potatoes for a high-fat weekend breakfast. Avocados and eggs go well together.

A spicy banh mi with an avocado shake = heaven.

R28, I have Filipino co-workers who love avocado as a dessert!😱 I've tried it, but can't get into it.

R7, My mother used to call avocado "poor man's butter." So ironic it's now hipster approved.

Love avocado salad dressing.

Avocado smoothie/juice/shake.

Avocado and turkey sandwiches. Avocado and chicken salad sandwiches with the former substituting for high calorie mayonnaise.

Lots of people here urging lemon juice with avocado, which I agree tastes good (and the citrus juice helps to keep the cut fruit from turning brown so fast when exposed to the air). But I think that lime juice tastes even better (and has the same effect as lemon juice does to delay oxidation) -- sprinkle a little smoked paprika on that too.

Hate to be a downer, but the high profit margin for growing avocados is causing deforestation of pine forests in Mexico so there is a serious environmental impact to consuming this food.

R34 is right. You should replace avocados with beef in your diet.

Mix together half an avocado, quarter of a cup of oatmeal, teaspoon of honey, teaspoon of lemon and tablespoon of apple cider vinegar. Smear it on your face for 20 minutes, it may burn a little.

Makes your skin look great!

Avocados are my favorite fruit. Every Sunday my grandfather used to bring me an avocado pear hidden at the bottom of his briefcase under six soiled shirts and the Sunday comics. He taught me how to eat avocados by melting grape jelly and french dressing together in a saucepan and filling the cup of the pear with the garnet sauce.

I like to lightly mash them and sprinkle with “Everything But The Bagel” seasoning from Trader Joe’s and sprinkle a little seasoned rice vinegar.

Avocado ice cream. Yum!

Bacon, cheese, avocado omelets are really good.

R33 Oh yes this is a great combination.

R9 you should try avocado ice cream. It's great!

Avocado is great on grilled chicken sandwiches.

Don't use lemon juice, use lime juice! LIME!

Thanks for all these suggestions. I have avocado, lemon, and lime trees in my back yard, so I’m looking forward to trying some of these ideas out.

avocado cream pie

Eat them plain

Little did I know that every time I ordered a side of guacamole or a California roll that I was eating something named after the male genitalia. The shape could have given it away, but then again, who would actually name a fruit after that?

-B.I.

Avocado and crab mousse.

Avocado bread

While inspecting a nursing home, I ran into some Mexican CNAs in the break room. This is what they had for lunch. It was stupid easy, and when I did it at home, I was pleased with the result.

Mash an avocado. Add a can of drained tuna. Add lime juice, hot sauce. They added a bit of chopped onion. Smear on corn tostadas.

I have an avocado tree I just eat them plain with salt and pepper, burritos, salads, chips whatever you want.

Who puts hot sauce on tuna? Yech.

R53, some people (like me) put hot sauce on everything. Try it, you might like it!

The LA Times shared a holiday recipe that they called "Spicy Avocado Smash," which is basically mashed avocado, jalapeno, cilantro, lime juice, and pomegranate seeds.

So basically it's just guacamole with a fancy name!

That's how you're supposed to eat them, OP. Anything else is just hipster nonsense.

I like making pasta with avocado and Parmesan

I have a pasta recipe where you just throw some diced avocado and lemon into the hot drained noodles, and it melts and forms a rich yet tangy sauce. Throw on some diced fresh veggies, like tomato, basil, and red onion, and you've got a fabulous vegetarian main dish. Sprinkle with parmesean unless you're vegan.

Actually, no need for the recipe. That's pretty much it.

I like using slices on fajitas.

I stick them in my mussy

avocado chocolate mousse

My grocery store sometimes has 4 ripe avocados for $1.00 right when the store opens. I got lucky yesterday and so far I have eaten a whole avocado chopped into chunks into red pozole and avocados, sprinkled with salt and pepper, on toast for breakfast. Delicious, but I wouldn’t spend the normal price for 4 avocados.
