ideas for avocados

I bought avocados to try but I don't know what to do with them. I know I've seen postings that you all eat them but how do you prepare them? Thanks Allison

I am a boring avocado eater lol. I eat it the same way every day. Avocados, tomatoes, basil and a bit of dill with aged balsamic vinegar. You can make up guacamole with it and eat it that way or use it as a spread. Some eat it with cottage cheese but I found that to be nasty. You could just slice it and eat it as is with a bit of lemon. Its great on meat to. Good luck! Enjoy! *huggles* Felicia

Hi Allison, I have two ways of eating avocados. The first is to make a pseudo guacamole. I mash half an avocado, put a bit of lemon juice over it, add 1 tbsp of salsa and a sprinkle of salt. It's yummy and quick. I eat it with 2-3 multigrain tostitos. It's my favorite snack. I don't do this often...just every now and then when I've been really good and have lost several pounds. The other way is with fajita meat, either chicken or beef. I will fix a couple oz of meat with green peppers and onions, dice up half an avocado and enjoy. Sometimes I add in a sprinkle of shredded cheese, sometimes not. I usually skip tortillas though. Hope this helps! Susan

I have them on a scallop salad. I use the recipe in Susan Maria's book "Before & After". You take a few sea scallops, toss them in a mix of olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic & paprika. Sear them in a skillet over medium heat on both sides (4 mins. a side). Serve them on a bed of baby spinach with some sliced avocado. Dressing is a mix of light sour cream, some light mayo, mustard & a splash of lemon juice. Even my junk food junkie DH loves it!
