I had some baby spinach and just sliced up ah avocado and added some feta and drizzled olive oil and balsamic on al of it. So good! I also like to just slice and put on toast also with balsamic. And I use it instead of mayo on sandwiches.

Also in salad or dipped in Italian dressing. shellio on "How do you eat avocado?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-eat-avacado/page/2#post-2065202 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 18:57:04 +0000 shellio 2065202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yum I love avocado on buttered toast - will have to try the sea salt! I also put them in smoothies, they add a creamy texture. @Mamaof2: If they aren't ripe when you buy them, leave them on your counter until they are softer. If they sit in the fridge they don't seem to get ripe at all for me. Then once they are ripe I store them in the fridge if I don't eat them right away. katsupgirl on "How do you eat avocado?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-eat-avacado/page/2#post-2065146 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 17:51:45 +0000 katsupgirl 2065146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I eat mine with this stuff.

For toast: a little lemon juice, evoo, salt and pepper. I use them in smoothies (instead of banana) sometimes. You can mix with pesto to make it creamier. I put them (plain) on tacos or taco salad. Yeah, the key is seasoning them a bit, and making sure you get a perfectly ripe one.

DDs absolute favourite food in the world is avocados. Just straight up avocado. pinkcupcake on "How do you eat avocado?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-eat-avacado#post-2064815 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 15:08:56 +0000 pinkcupcake 2064815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @bluestriped bee: never heard of adding sugar! I must try that soon! I love avocado! They're so good in sandwiches, salads, or in California rolls. Also love it straight out of the shell, with just a sprinkling of salt & pepper, or soy sauce. Yum! Mamaof2 on "How do you eat avocado?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-eat-avacado#post-2064814 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 15:08:38 +0000 Mamaof2 2064814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Thanks all - so many great ideas! I def think mine aren't ripe so I will try to get softer ones! MrsLonghorn on "How do you eat avocado?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-eat-avacado#post-2064811 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 15:07:23 +0000 MrsLonghorn 2064811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ A ripe avocado should mash easily with a fork, but still be green (huge brown spots = overripe). It will be flavorful, whereas unripe ones generally aren't. Avocado toast: I love using a seedy bread or pumpernickel, mashed avocado, drizzle of lemon juice, sprinkle of salt, red pepper flakes. *Swoon!* psw27 on "How do you eat avocado?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-eat-avacado#post-2064788 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 14:59:49 +0000 psw27 2064788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Pretty much anyway you want to serve it to me. In ceviche, as guacamole, on a taco, in a salad, in sushi rolls, in avocado egg rolls (umm Cheesecake factory ones are amazing)... yum yum yum! They definitely have no flavor if they aren't ripe! Mrs. Bee on "How do you eat avocado?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-eat-avacado#post-2064765 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 14:55:50 +0000 Mrs. Bee 2064765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ make a salad with tomato, lemon cucumber, salt pepper. avocado toast of course - just eggs over easy and avocado on bread. crab or tuna over the avocado with sriracha! blackbird on "How do you eat avocado?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-eat-avacado#post-2064751 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 14:51:35 +0000 blackbird 2064751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I salt and pepper it and just dump it on things as a condiment. mostly eggs.

It tastes like ice cream. Or an avocado shake. I just hate waiting for them to ripen. mediagirl on "How do you eat avocado?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-eat-avacado#post-2064411 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 13:12:50 +0000 mediagirl 2064411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Mamaof2: spread it on a baguette or some other fancy bread that you have toasted. Sprinkle salt and a little bit of lime juice on it. Delicious!! JoJoGirl on "How do you eat avocado?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-eat-avacado#post-2064408 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 13:12:17 +0000 JoJoGirl 2064408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Last night i just ate it with cheese :) Avocado is mostly fat so is kind of 'buttery' by itself, which is probably why you feel like it lacks flavor... but yes it has to be good and ripe, too! PinkElephant on "How do you eat avocado?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-eat-avacado#post-2064403 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 13:11:02 +0000 PinkElephant 2064403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ On sandwiches, on salads, on eggs....I got hooked on avocado when pregnant w/ DD#2 (I'd eat one a day) and haven't really stopped. I think they're best with just a little salt, but will add lime or hot sauce depending on what I'm eating them with. I eat pretty healthy and am breastfeeding, so I'm ok with the calorie count. I try to split one with my husband who is also a big fan. My oldest doesn't like avocados...am going to have to try her baby sister on them pretty soon!

I eat it sliced up on toast with lime and tapatio, in sandwiches, on eggs, in salads, burritos, tacos, tostadas, on its own with lime and tapatio, sometimes in soup as a garnish, in eggrolls, wraps. The possibilities are endless. yellowbird on "How do you eat avocado?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-eat-avacado#post-2064361 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 12:53:04 +0000 yellowbird 2064361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Usually just wish a little salt and pepper. So yummy! sunny on "How do you eat avocado?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-eat-avacado#post-2064336 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 12:42:01 +0000 sunny 2064336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I love avocado. I cut it up and put a pinch of salt. Its delicious! regberadaisy on "How do you eat avocado?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-eat-avacado#post-2064332 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 12:40:44 +0000 regberadaisy 2064332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I do like avocado but DH doesn't and neither does LO. But these sandwich ideas are great for lunch for me! They're also fairly expensive imo so I don't buy them much. lamariniere on "How do you eat avocado?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-eat-avacado#post-2064314 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 12:35:13 +0000 lamariniere 2064314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I eat them almost every day! Avocado toast is my favorite, I don't think I've ever eaten a flavorless avocado? What I also like is avocado toast with prosciutto, yum! It's also great with eggs or plain or in maki rolls.

Sometimes I put bacon on it too. So relish! BLT's with avocado is also good. mrsjyw on "How do you eat avocado?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-eat-avacado#post-2064241 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 12:11:52 +0000 mrsjyw 2064241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ LOVE avocado, sadly DS does not :( Guac, plain with hot sauce, plain with salt/pepper, any which way. Avocado is def about the texture :) T.H.O.U. on "How do you eat avocado?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-eat-avacado#post-2064234 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 12:10:26 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2064234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Mamaof2: salt helps a lot. Also there seems to be a variance in good fresh avocados versus green store ones. Kinda like a tomato from the grocery store tastes like cardboard compared to a tomato from a garden? yoursilverlining on "How do you eat avocado?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-eat-avacado#post-2064231 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 12:08:39 +0000 yoursilverlining 2064231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Mamaof2: I buy firm ones too (sometimes even rock hard, since they all have to get shipped up here to New England) but then you have to give them several days to ripen up. If it's "crunchy" at all, or doesn't very easily mash with a fork, it's definitely not ripe and they are very flavorless before they ripen. Hope this helps!

Spread avocado on toast and sprinkle a bit of sea salt on top. The sea salt really adds an extra dimension to the avocado. So yummy! I also like to eat it in a ground beef bowl. Ground beef, stir fried veggies, sliced avocado, and a fried egg on top! And in salads, and for avocado smoothies. BSB on "How do you eat avocado?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-eat-avacado#post-2064214 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 11:58:37 +0000 BSB 2064214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I don't remember who told me to eat an avocado like this but I take a fairly ripe avocado (soft) and put a bit of sugar in it and mash it up. I think you can put some crushed ice if you want it cooled. It's like an avocado pudding, of sorts. That's how I like it but DH will put sliced avocado in his eggs and spinach. I don't like avocado warm so I'll pass. I do enjoy them in salads.
