Avocado Spread
 

What if anything do you guys add to your avocado when you mush it for a spread on sandwichs. I read a recipe just to put a splash of lemon juice and a little salt. I have heard it's better then using mayo or even mustard, it has healthy fat in it. Does it really taste good?

I always sub avocado when I can- but I just mash it up mostly- sometimes add lemon juice but never salt- if you like avocado then you probably won't feel the need to add salt, or even lemon.

It definitely is GOOD and makes the sandwich not dry :D

To be honest, I just slice it and put it on a sandwich.

You are correct about them being healthy, plus they are tasty. I love avocados!

I only add lemon juice if I'm not eating the sandwich right away (keeps the avocado green.)

It does if you like avocado! :D (Ok, that was obvious.) If you like it in other foods, you'll probably like it on sandwiches, even just plain. And if you've never had it, there's only one way to find out.

I ate a lot of avocado for a while and suddenly I just couldn't eat it anymore... I probably haven't eaten any in a year! But I want to try it again, so thanks for reminding me. :) (To clarify, this is something wrong with ME, not with avocado.. the same thing has happened with other foods.. right now I can't stomach anything made with a significant amount of sesame oil.)

I just put them on sandwiches. I absolutely love avocado they are the best I eat them plain or with a little lemon.

Lime juice is nice too, and a dash of garlic powder (or a chopped up clove, but that takes some extra effort).

A little garlic and lemon juice and sometimes when I'm really wanting something similar to mayo I'd add a tiny (if I have it around) non fat sour cream to make it creamy. Delicious! It's a great dip for homemade whole wheat pita chips too.

mmm great ideas! =)

My favorite sandwich:

whole wheat or multi grain bread
Avocado
Salt
Lemon Drizzled over
A few shakes of Franks or Crystal Hot sauce.

Nothing more, and nothing less.

I just slice it and put it on :)

I love love love avacado. To make it a little less fattening I put some in a food processor with some peas. It goes a little further and I can have more.
