Eating Avocados

Lothaar

What's a handy way to eat an avocado? I can't have cottage cheese, and I don't want to have to make guacamole.

Is there an alternative?

I want to get these bad boys into my diet... but all the options seem to involve too much preparation. I could, of course, eat it as is... but I'm not that mad on the idea. I find them slimy and bland.

Thanks for your help.

hot fuss

Chop one up and chuck it into a salad.

Cut one in half, squeeze the juice of half a lime onto one half of the avocado and eat with a teaspoon - gorgeous!

Grilled cheese on toast topped with sliced avocado.

Put some in sandwiches.

Avocado in omelettes is really good, just throw it onto it just after the omelette is cooked and fold the omelette over it.

Mmmmm...

yomchi

Add it to a fresh squeezed vegetable juice mix.

Juice some spinach leaves, 1/2 cucumber, 3 apples, stick of celery, 3 rings of pineapple and then lob in the advacado into the smoothie maker or blender. You hav to taste it to believe it.

Avocados work very well with tuna or prawns

Cadrach

In Chile they use avocados/'palta' with everything. Just mash it and spread it on bread like butter

Chunks

1. cut avocado in half
2. remove stone
3. fill well left by stone with seafood sauce (yes that's right, you heard me, seafood sauce)
4. eat with a spoon.

Don't knock it til you try it.

they're nice like Chunks describe, with just a small bit of mayonnaise. but I'm not sure if that fits into your diet.
