Avocados
I am loving avocados, and am looking for new ways of incorporating them into meals.
So far I spread 1/4 of a ripe one on my english muffin/egg breakfast sandwich.
Today, I mixed some in with 1/2 a serving of spinach vermicelli, chicken and veggies for lunch, I added a little garlic and salt and pepper, and it was great.
I'm looking for other ideas. I found a recipe online for vegan creamy avocado pasta sauce. I know it is fatty, but it is a good fat, and I don't eat much in the way of fat otherwise.

Yum, I adore avocado.
I've heard of avocado and tuna as part of a sandwich or pita.
Chunks of avocado on a salad.
Avocado in a smoothie.
Avocado & cucumber sushi (if you like to make sushi) or in a fresh spring roll

I made the Southwestern black bean salad from Skinnytaste the other day. It has avocado in it and is delicious.

I saw that one too! I want to try it because I love american cheese  It's in my recipe bookmarks. You might want to poke around their recipe tag...I've seen other yummy things (some unhealthy though, but still yummy  )
Consequently I think I'm going to bookmark this entire thread. Sooo many wonderful avocado ideas!

Had a friend who, as a small child, thought the name of the item was "awfulcado".

I just remembered this - a friend of mine lightens up her guacamole by adding in mashed cooked edamame. She calls it "edamole"

Riddy- Cooked edamames sounds interesting! Recently I was looking for ways to sorta bulk up my guacamole batches (but still keep the yummy flavor) because sometimes you don't get enough from 1-3 if you want to make a lot for a party or whatever.
Anyway, I came across a few recipes which included adding pureed white beans with lime mixed into it, thawed spring peas?!? or greek yogurt. I like the white bean or greek yogurt idea but peas? I don't know. Maybe a 50-50 mixture of white bean/pea or yogurt/pea would be good.
