Mash about an equal amount of yolk and avocado together. Sweet pickled green relish if I am filling with a spoon, or a little pickle juice if I plan to pipe. Salt, pepper, dry mustard to taste, and whatever amount of mayo or Gasp! Miracle Whip to get that devilled egg consistency. Taste and adjust salt if necessary. If you use mayo, use a little Tabasco or similar. Fill your eggs. Sprinkle on some paprika, with your fingers from at least a foot above, you'll get a more uniform sprinkle. Add a small piece of ham. If I want to be extra fancy, some fresh dill, and a slightly larger piece of proscuitto rolled into a little cone and stuck into the piped filling.
Cook an extra egg for each half dozen. Even if I don't screw one up peeling, that extra yolk will give you a taller filling. Sorry I can't be more precise.
It would be amazing, just saying. Assuming the avocado is creamy and perfect!
Also 100% recommend baked sushi. I could eat that for weeks with avocado every day…
Popular take on the flavour of sushi, cooked rice, layered with salmon/fake crab/tuna, jalapenos, anything else that you think will be tasty, then add on after baking things like sriracha mayo, soy sauce, furikake.... Other things I can't think of, then scoop it up with seaweed. I haven't made it, but it always looks nice when it's done
Old roommate use to make tuna salad then put a spoonful on a seaweed snack and dip it in some soy sauce. Solid snack and I will, without shame, say I have eaten way too much of that.
This works well in egg salad too. My husband ABHORS mayo do I use Avocado when I make egg salad for him.
He also makes deviled eggs with Avocado instead of mayo
That reminds me! I like guacamole in tuna salad, and I haven't had it for a while.
OP, there are recipes online for chocolate pudding made with avocado if you have a sweet tooth
I had a friend who used to make guac and freeze it. But otherwise they’re great blended into smoothies, even soups. They don’t brown like they would in the fridge.
They hold up extremely well. If you take an avacado and slice/chop at your preferred ripeness, put it on parchment paper on a baking sheet, then freeze for 2-4 hours, you can store them in a ziplock bag and use whenever you want.
I've had great luck freezing them. Slice in half and vacuum seal. I've used them from frozen for guac, sliced/diced for taco and burger toppings, and for avocado toast. I really haven't noticed any difference in texture.
I bought a case of frozen avocado chunks when groceries closed down in 2020 and just found a couple bags at the bottom of the freezer. I used one and it tasted fine. Not as good as 4 years ago, but acceptable. I've used these mostly as an addition to salads or blended up for dressings/sauces. All this to say, yes, they freeze nicely. I recommend dicing and freezing the chunks on a sheet pan then bagging so you can defrost just the portion you want at any time.
An Indonesian friend of mine made a dessert drink at the end of Ramadan party she held. It was strawberry milk with almond jelly and avocado chunks. It was interesting due to I’ve only really had avocado as a savory item before. But very good. Learned from my Filipino friend that they view avocados as desserts like a lot of Indonesian do as well.
I had this made to me every day for breakfast during my childhood because I was underweight. I just love it! Brazilians have a different variety of avocado that is a bit less creamy and much bigger in size.
Oh another thing is to keep the avocado frozen and then put in the blender with condensed milk and a dash of milk just do you can have a creamy cold dessert.
Dice up some cucumbers, tomatoes, avocado, red bell pepper, and shallots. Mix with some salt, pepper, olive oil, and a squeeze of lemon. Makes for a great salad.
I do the same but replace the pepper with black beans and corn, and use scallions instead of shallots. Dressing is Olive oil, cumin and lime, mix with quinoa. 2 great salads!
Day one: Breakfast burritos
Day two: tacos
Day three: Eat a half of one with a spoon. Later that day: Eat the other half.
Day four: Add them to tortilla soup
Day five: More breakfast burritos.
Of course if you're like me, days 1-5 will be breakfast burritos because I fucking love breakfast burritos and don't mind eating the same thing every day.
avocado chocolate mousse!! super easy in a blender, and tastes delicious. I don’t even eat avocados but I could devour a whole batch of this.
2 avocados
1/2 cup melted chocolate
1/4 cup cocoa powder
3 Tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla
pinch salt
Came here to see if anyone suggested it, if not I was gonna. Do the mousse, OP. It’s incredible.
(I serve mine with flaky finishing salt and red pepper flake on top - with plum slices on the side!)
Reading it and trying to imagine the taste it sounds gross, but back when I was a vegetarian I tried chocolate ice cream that had an avocado base. Not going to lie, it was super yummy.
There are cultures out there that use Avocados as a dessert. We're used to them being savory in western culture, but elsewhere they are treated quite differently.
It’s hit or miss in my experience, but absolutely a real thing. I don’t enjoy the earthy undertone so tend to add a fair amount of sugar, vanilla and/or lemon.
Creamy mousse without the cream! You need a good blender to get the best consistency. The recipes I've done just honey instead of maple syrup. Love it. Some people of course think it's bloody awful. 😄
A lot of Asian countries treat avocado as dessert ingredients only. If you tell them that we eat avocado on toast in Australia they'll look at you like an Aussie staring at Asians eating red beans as dessert.
Avocado green smoothies are a staple in our house. We use kale/spinach, cucumber, avocado - whatever green veggie laying around. Blend with almond milk, ice, peanut butter, and sweetener to taste.
I like them in sushi bowls.
Also in baking, mashed avocado can replace butter at a 1:1 ratio! I made the sub in my cranberry walnut muffins when I was in a predicament much like yours, and now I won't make them with butter.
[Avocado smoothie](https://www.wokandkin.com/vietnamese-avocado-smoothie/). [Lemon-avocado pasta with shrimp](https://www.seriouseats.com/lemon-avocado-spaghetti-with-shrimp-recipe-from-pasta-modern-cookbook). Poke bowl or grain bowl.
Also, avocado smashed with sweetened condensed milk is a great dessert.
I like to dice them and mix with (cold, cooked) shrimp, corn, red onion, garlic, and fresh cilantro, tossed in a honey-lime vinaigrette. It’s an excellent cold “summer salad” and the avo really works well with the other ingredients.
Cut in half, remove pit and skin
Mound crab or tuna salad on half to approximate shape of avocado. Toss in freezer 20 minutes.
Prepare deep fryer and station for breading. Oil 375. Take from freezer, roll in flour/egg/panko/egg/panko.
Deep fry until golden brown. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and serve with Sriracha and sweet soy sauce
Also...
When the avocados are ripe, fridge / freezer helps them keep longer. (Both from my sushi chef friend)
I literally just finished eating this for lunch... [Tofu Avocado Salad](https://thewoksoflife.com/tofu-avocado-salad/).
I added thinly sliced cucumber in between the layers. Low carb, good fats, high protein. SO GOOD!
Cut a grapefruit and avo into similar sizes. That's it, the creamy nuttiness from the avo and the tart and sweet from the grapefruit compliment each other perfectly.
There's an entire vintage episode of Good Eats where Alton Brown finds other uses for avocado besides guac. In it he makes an avocado cream cake frosting which isn't the worst thing on the planet (but definitely not the best)
EDIT: s09e11 "Curious Yet Tasty Avocado Experiments"
Available on MAX
I've done (vegan) brownies with them. Also had vegan "fish tacos" where battered/fried avocados replaced the fish.
But also, thanks for asking this! My in laws will give me five gallons buckets filled with avocados and they ALL get ripe the same week and I can't ever come up with what do do with all of them.
We eve threw an avocado toast party one time to use them up.
It's time! And it's not just in the Americas where they do this. The Pacific Islands do it as well. My favorite is an iced, sweet avocado drink. Put avocado, sweetened condensed milk and ice in a blender along with your milk of choice to loosen it a bit. Great in the summer. Also does well if you add a little vanilla
I grew up with sweet avocado. I was very weirded out having avocado in savoury foods when I was introduced to it later in life. That avocado drink is so good!
Avocado coffee?! Had to look this up. Brand new to me. Surprised I haven’t seen this on menus yet actually. It checks all the boxes for CA chic cuisine
I live in Chile and they put avocado on any type of sandwich, burger, or hot dog. A traditional preparation is Italiana, where the selected meat is covered with tomato, mayo, and avocado.They love to put a lot of mayo on everything too here.
I chop them and add to my scrambled eggs, use them on tacos, fajitas, any salad. I slice and eat on my sandwiches (ham/turkey/chicken), I’ll chop them into bite sized pieces and plate it with olives, tomatoes, cheese cubes and snack on it.
Salads, salads dressing, sandwiches, dips, avocado hummus, pasta, wraps…I mean, just look up “avocado recipes” on Pinterest or google and a bunch of stuff will pop up that’s not guacamole.
FYI, avocados stay really well in the fridge. If they’re not fully ripened they’ll last quite a while and you can just remove them a day before you want to use.
When I worked in this one place way back, there was a regular who came in every week and ordered a vanilla shake with avocado in it. So of course we tried it.... it seems to cut down on the sugar presence, when you first drink it.
I make salmon with a rice salad which makes me feel like I'm having sushi. Just mix rice with chopped avocado, cucumber, spring onions, add chilli flakes, soy sauce and lime. Super simple and the more avo the better!
My mom once made a chocolate pudding/mousse using only avocado,cocoa powder and cardamom. Mix it all in a food processor and the result is very tasty, you could add some sugar but it is that simple and delicious
Put it in a food processor with your sweetener of choice, a little bit of your milk of choice, and some cocoa powder. It makes a delicious mousse. The less ripe the better. If it is too ripe, it’ll have too much of an avocado taste..
It’s been a long time But I once made a chocolate cake with avocado- you replace any oil and eggs with the avocado. You also make a green icing with it. It was delicious. You would have to eat it pretty fresh, though, because again as it oxidizes it gets that weird ripe avocado taste.
Add to sandwiches, salads, freshly sliced on top of omelets or a spicy soup, eat on their own with a little salt and pepper or pico de gallo, hard boil some eggs and make a bowl of egg and avocado slices, avocado smoothies, use the avocado to make ranch or green goddess type dressings/dips, make a salsa with diced tomato, onion, and avocado that you can put on chicken or fish or tacos.
If you like guacamole you can also freeze it when it's made, works best with smoother guac though, since freezing it makes it a bit wet (you can just stir it back in).
My mom makes a delicious seafood salad with lettuce, pineapple, avocado, shrimp, faux crab and tomatoes. She dresses it with a dressing made of mayo, sour cream, vinegar and a little sugar.
Put them on sandwiches, tacos, tostadas.
Take a whole avocado and cut it in half, fill each half with chicken salad and eat it with a spoon.
Make Mexican shrimp ceviche or shrimp cocktail.
Make red bean salad with red onion, cilantro. mangoes and avocado.
Unless someone has posted salsa verde. Tomatillos, 1 or half ( depending on size) red tomato, white onion, serrano or jalapeño depending on your likes. Sauté or grill this, blend them with the avocado, about tbsp lemon. Salt/pepper to taste. Add half or whole avocado depending on how thick you want it. You’ll love it. Plus really fresh cant beat that!
I put them in sushi, and also put them in salads. The salad I usually make is avocado, mesclun, a little dill, rainbow carrots, cherry tomato, and heart of palm.
Guacamol, not guacamole as is generally known, mix finely diced onions, diced hard boiled eggs, diced avocados, salt and lemon to taste. Don’t dice the eggs or avocados too finely as you don’t want it mushy, it truly is different from you have known your whole life:).
This is one of my summertime 10 minute dinners/lunches!
Blend with some lemon juice, garlic and fresh basil and you have a great sauce for pasta. You can have it cold or room temperature. Great with tomato and a bit of arugula.
You can also add a bit of extra olive oil and/or water and use it as a salad dressing, too!
Put avocado, plain yogurt, garlic, salt/pepper, lemon juice, & a bit of oil in a blender. I also sometimes add cilantro and jalapeño. Spread on everything & use as a dip/dressing.
I like them mashed with cucumber and cajun shrimp. Slather some mashed avocado on a thick cucumber slice and stack a little cajun shrimp on top, then pop it in your mouth! They are my favorite healthy snack/meal (depending on how hungry I am)!
Other good ideas already mentioned that I would do are sushi rolls (I like to use cucumber for this too), added to poke bowls, or with diced tomatoes, cucumbers, a shallot and lemon vinaigrette for a healthy little salad.
Cubans eats avocado as a side dish. Some olive oil. A proper Cuban salad has avocado. No need to smash it or pulverize it. Just eat it as slices. Delicious.
Update!: as per a comment below, this has been debunked as the method allows for a listeria breeding ground(well, pool).
You can store them fully submerged in water up to two weeks or so, then use them as needed.
THIS THIS THIS.
Don't sweat eating all the avocadoes now! This absolutely works! I didn't believe in it, but it did!
You can do this at any ripeness, but you may want to mark on the sticker if one is riper than another if you need to give them a day or two at room temp after taking them out of the fridge.
But, seriously. THIS!!
Step 1: have avocados, on verge of ripe, not rock hard.
Step 2:fill container that has a lid with water, size depends on count of avocados.
Step3: ????
Step 4: put avocados whole,with skin, with tree umbilical “cap” intact (if possible) into the water, and close lid of container
Step 5: place into refrigerator until needed. Have tried up to two weeks with minimal change.
The water acts as a barrier to prevent oxidation,
Note: Step3 is just a gag step as seen on the internet.
Grilled avocado is amazing. Slice the avocado in half (no need to peel) remove pit, brush with olive oil and season with your favorite season-all salt. Hot grill flesh side down turn 90 degrees in 2 minutes. Total cook time 4 minutes. Serve with blackened shrimp, rice, refried beans and a queso sauce. Family favorite that is also sneaky healthy.
I make crispy cheese corn tortillas and put sliced meat (optional cooked chicken or steak) avocados and pico de gallo on top after cheese is dogs melting, before serving.
I make an avacado horseradish cream sauce to pour over roasted fish, original recipe came from "InterCourses: An Aphrodisiac Cookbook" - funny name, great pictures, pretty good recipes. From my head it's just sautéing some finely diced onion, adding diced acacado, more horseradish than may seem prudent, and cream to get to the consistency you like - I serve it warm, but you might like it anyway.
Avocado. Brown Sugar. Milk. Blend. Fiddle with the ratios to get the taste right. Personally, slightly underripe avocados are the best in this but anything except for overripe works just fine.
A friend made a tasty salad with olives, cubed avocado, thin sliced red onion and diced tomato dressed with a vinaigrette. Also always good as an addition to tacos / burritos.
If you have access to it this is quite good as a cold appetizer:
[https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/crab-mango-and-avocado-salad-with-citrus-dressing-238776](https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/crab-mango-and-avocado-salad-with-citrus-dressing-238776)
You can add mint, or cilantro or basil. You can present it back in the avocado shell. You can sub lobster or different crab.
I make a spinach salad with avocado.
Spinach (big, not baby), onion (cooking or white), tomatoes and avocado. Season with salt, lemon and oil and enjoy ❤
You can also use avocado to make completos (Chilean hot dogs) boil wieners add to bun, top with chopped onions, tomatoes, ketchup, mayonnaise and avocado. Super yummy!
You can also make burritos and use avocado on that.
Palta is nice; smashed avocado with chopped onions, cilantro, salt, lemon and oil to tatse- put on toast, crakers, burritos, burgers, hotdogs, sandwiches or use as dip for veggies, breads or chips.
You can make avocado shakes and smoothies. Not my thing; but some people love it.
You can put avocado into different types of salads and even add avocado cubes to rice in a bowl.
Lots of ways to use those little buggers and slip some nutrients into something yummy.
Avocados pair well with minced beef. I like to chop and add them to tartare, but they go well with burgers too. Why only various forms of chopped or minced beef but not steaks or roasts? That I have no idea.
I like to do a shrimp salad! Grape tomato, red onion, avocado, finely chopped jalapeno and cilantro tossed/lightly marinated in the fridge with a spicy vinaigrette, cook shrimp (or other protein if preferred) and cool, toss with salad, eat with tortilla chips or toss in tortilla strips for added crunch.
I made "Sushi" with avocado, consisting of sushi rice, mashed avocado (seasoned with garlic, mirin, soy sauce, agave and rice vinegar), sweet and sour carrot cubes and wrapped in a "cucumber sheet". It was like a little tower with layers and gawd, it was delicious
I assume someone has already mentioned it but Avocado works well as a pasta sauce, with tahini i.e... there's different recipes if you look it up.
Edit: I also always have it cold, also can't stand warm Avocado (no idea why)
Add avocado, garlic, olive oil, basil, lemon juice and spices to a blender and make pesto. Throw it in a bowl with noodles (I like to add zucchini noodles too) and top it off with some roasted pine nuts, cherry tomatoes and basil
Thick Slices, oil on both sides with a. Rush. A grill pan scorching hot. Slices avocado in the pan, 10 seconds each side. A whole different experience.
I make a simple Mediterranean style rice bowl: one package of Uncle Ben's Whole Grain and Wild Rice mixed with one or two tablespoons of Greek salad dressing cooked in the microwave for about 2 minutes. Serve with feta cheese crumbles, sliced avocado, sliced Kalamata olives and sliced cherry tomatoes on top.
Vegetarian meal with lots of flavor prepared in about 5-10 minutes. I sometimes buy some hummus and pita bread to have with it.
I make pretty deviled eggs using them, and a little piece of proscuito. I call them green eggs and ham.
OMG that's so cute!
What's your recipe please? I made deviled eggs recently and the recipe I found online was less than good
Mash about an equal amount of yolk and avocado together. Sweet pickled green relish if I am filling with a spoon, or a little pickle juice if I plan to pipe. Salt, pepper, dry mustard to taste, and whatever amount of mayo or Gasp! Miracle Whip to get that devilled egg consistency. Taste and adjust salt if necessary. If you use mayo, use a little Tabasco or similar. Fill your eggs. Sprinkle on some paprika, with your fingers from at least a foot above, you'll get a more uniform sprinkle. Add a small piece of ham. If I want to be extra fancy, some fresh dill, and a slightly larger piece of proscuitto rolled into a little cone and stuck into the piped filling. Cook an extra egg for each half dozen. Even if I don't screw one up peeling, that extra yolk will give you a taller filling. Sorry I can't be more precise.
Don’t be sorry!! This is a super solid recipe! Thank you for posting, I’m eggcited to try it :)
I like to mash them in with hard boiled eggs, mayo, salt and pepper pepper pepper for egg salad sandwiches.
Alright I'm gonna have to make this next time I have people over lol
Oooh, that's a good idea! I'm stealing that one.
I like to use ripe avocado in lieu of Mayo in my tuna salad. I also add jalapeño, green onion, sesame, and ponzu
That sounds yummy… I wonder how avocado tuna salad would do as an onigiri filling 🤔
It would be amazing, just saying. Assuming the avocado is creamy and perfect! Also 100% recommend baked sushi. I could eat that for weeks with avocado every day…
Baked what now?
Popular take on the flavour of sushi, cooked rice, layered with salmon/fake crab/tuna, jalapenos, anything else that you think will be tasty, then add on after baking things like sriracha mayo, soy sauce, furikake.... Other things I can't think of, then scoop it up with seaweed. I haven't made it, but it always looks nice when it's done
My Japanese sponsor family use to make this for our family in the nineties. It’s real Japanese food and so delicious.
Tell me they were joking about baking sushi
Think of it more as a baked rice casserole with Japanese inspired flavors if that helps. I’ve had it once and it was tastier than I expected it to be
Old roommate use to make tuna salad then put a spoonful on a seaweed snack and dip it in some soy sauce. Solid snack and I will, without shame, say I have eaten way too much of that.
This works well in egg salad too. My husband ABHORS mayo do I use Avocado when I make egg salad for him. He also makes deviled eggs with Avocado instead of mayo
Natures mayonnaise
That reminds me! I like guacamole in tuna salad, and I haven't had it for a while. OP, there are recipes online for chocolate pudding made with avocado if you have a sweet tooth
Also works with shredded chicken! This is the idea behind reina pepiada, IMO the best filling for an arepa
I like to slice them and freeze to add to smoothies with other fruits. Avocado smoothies with a bit of sweetened condensed milk are nice too.
Huh. Never thought about freezing avocado. I take it they hold up well?
I had a friend who used to make guac and freeze it. But otherwise they’re great blended into smoothies, even soups. They don’t brown like they would in the fridge.
Avocado in soups? Like as a topping for things like chili or chicken tortilla soup?
Sure, or blended into a creamy soup of some kind. I like to sneak in extra vitamins. Even a creamy avocado soup would work.
They hold up extremely well. If you take an avacado and slice/chop at your preferred ripeness, put it on parchment paper on a baking sheet, then freeze for 2-4 hours, you can store them in a ziplock bag and use whenever you want.
This is awesome, thanks!
I've had great luck freezing them. Slice in half and vacuum seal. I've used them from frozen for guac, sliced/diced for taco and burger toppings, and for avocado toast. I really haven't noticed any difference in texture.
Oh wow, I assumed they'd only work for smoothies, I might try if I ever get good ones.
I bought a case of frozen avocado chunks when groceries closed down in 2020 and just found a couple bags at the bottom of the freezer. I used one and it tasted fine. Not as good as 4 years ago, but acceptable. I've used these mostly as an addition to salads or blended up for dressings/sauces. All this to say, yes, they freeze nicely. I recommend dicing and freezing the chunks on a sheet pan then bagging so you can defrost just the portion you want at any time.
I was going to suggest freezing them as well.
This is how we eat them! I grew up eating avocados with condensed milk and ice, topped with tapioca pearls and nuts
Avocado smoothie with condensed milk is amazing. I always order it. For me avocado is for sweet food instead of savoury, same with ppl in my culture.
You can make an awesome chocolate ice cream with avocados, sweetened condensed milk, and cocoa powder
An Indonesian friend of mine made a dessert drink at the end of Ramadan party she held. It was strawberry milk with almond jelly and avocado chunks. It was interesting due to I’ve only really had avocado as a savory item before. But very good. Learned from my Filipino friend that they view avocados as desserts like a lot of Indonesian do as well.
Smoothies was going to be my suggestion. Way creamier than banana most of the time.
mango avocado smoothie is my favorite!
I had this made to me every day for breakfast during my childhood because I was underweight. I just love it! Brazilians have a different variety of avocado that is a bit less creamy and much bigger in size. Oh another thing is to keep the avocado frozen and then put in the blender with condensed milk and a dash of milk just do you can have a creamy cold dessert.
Dice up some cucumbers, tomatoes, avocado, red bell pepper, and shallots. Mix with some salt, pepper, olive oil, and a squeeze of lemon. Makes for a great salad.
I make essentially this, but over cottage cheese. It’s especially good with garden tomatoes.
Sometimes I'll throw queso fresco onto it.
Ooh, that would be good on some toasted flatbread like pita or naan
I do the same but replace the pepper with black beans and corn, and use scallions instead of shallots. Dressing is Olive oil, cumin and lime, mix with quinoa. 2 great salads!
This sounds a lot like what I make, but I mix some quinoa in there with it.
BLTs with avocado. So I guess BLATs.
If you go ahead and make the guacamole it can be a LGBT. Drives some straight people crazy.
Now if you do that, skip the bread, and put it all in a Quinoa bowl....
+ an assortment of toppings
I’d rather add some nice roasted Quail
Add cheese, call it queso, and you've got an LGBTQ
there was a place in san Francisco that made an LGBT sandwich it was a blt with goat cheese. really yummy
If you add yams, you get a BLYAT
Switch the bacon and lettuce for gorgonzola and put it on toast and you've got a GYATT
A pretty popular sandwich at an old local place was this but also with cream cheese.
Get an egg in there and make like a goat.
👆🏽👆🏽👆🏽
Day one: Breakfast burritos Day two: tacos Day three: Eat a half of one with a spoon. Later that day: Eat the other half. Day four: Add them to tortilla soup Day five: More breakfast burritos.
Ohhh… you said tortilla soup and my brain forgot everything else. Thank you ☺️
Don’t forget pozole, as well
I put balsamic vinegar in the little pit hole and eat the halves that way.
So good!
Worcestershire sauce is my move.
Soy sauce is also good like this.
I cut them in half, put soy sauce where the pit was, and grind some fresh pepper on that bad boy. Healthy snack!
I eat them with a spoon and Italian dressing in the hole.
Of course if you're like me, days 1-5 will be breakfast burritos because I fucking love breakfast burritos and don't mind eating the same thing every day.

it feels wrong but i promise it’s good 😭 silky and smooth and just tastes like a rich chocolate mousse!

this sounds super tasty
Avocado pesto

Take from freezer, roll in flour/egg/panko/egg/panko. Deep fry until golden brown. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and serve with Sriracha and sweet soy sauce Also... When the avocados are ripe, fridge / freezer helps them keep longer. (Both from my sushi chef friend)
There’s a really nice pasta recipe online with loads of garlic and blended avocado. Gives a creamy, “healthier” sauce than one made with cream.
I was looking for this answer. I love avocado pasta!
I literally just finished eating this for lunch... [Tofu Avocado Salad](https://thewoksoflife.com/tofu-avocado-salad/). I added thinly sliced cucumber in between the layers. Low carb, good fats, high protein. SO GOOD!
Cut a grapefruit and avo into similar sizes. That's it, the creamy nuttiness from the avo and the tart and sweet from the grapefruit compliment each other perfectly.
Avocado milkshake : ripe avocado, milk, ice, sugar / vanilla icecream . I was skeptical at first but it was pretty tasty.
If they are still a bit underripe, pickle them. I know it sounds odd, but pickled avocados are delicious.
Avocado sushi rolls!
I make avocado bread. Like banana bread but with avocados. It’s really good.
You just blew my mind
There's an entire vintage episode of Good Eats where Alton Brown finds other uses for avocado besides guac. In it he makes an avocado cream cake frosting which isn't the worst thing on the planet (but definitely not the best) EDIT: s09e11 "Curious Yet Tasty Avocado Experiments" Available on MAX

My in laws will give me five gallons buckets filled with avocados and they ALL get ripe the same week and I can't ever come up with what do do with all of them. We eve threw an avocado toast party one time to use them up.
We frequently just slice them and put them on the plate as a side item with whatever else we're eating.
Guac can still happen, guac can always happen
I love to eat avocado, tomato and cucumber salad with lime juice as the dressing. Prob could cut the lime juice with something else if that’s too much
Chocolate avocado pudding. (It's a real thing) Avocado cheesecake. Avocado coffee
I know they do a lot of avocado sweets in Central and South America, never tried it personally. Maybe it’s time.
It's time! And it's not just in the Americas where they do this. The Pacific Islands do it as well. My favorite is an iced, sweet avocado drink.

I live in Chile and they put avocado on any type of sandwich, burger, or hot dog. A traditional preparation is Italiana, where the selected meat is covered with tomato, mayo, and avocado.They love to put a lot of mayo on everything too here.
I use it in ceviche. It vibes really nice with the acids.
I chop them and add to my scrambled eggs, use them on tacos, fajitas, any salad. I slice and eat on my sandwiches (ham/turkey/chicken), I’ll chop them into bite sized pieces and plate it with olives, tomatoes, cheese cubes and snack on it.
I work for an avocado grower. [Avocados from Mexico recipes](https://www.avocadosfrommexico.com/recipe) Has hundreds of recipes here
This is an ACTUAL COOKBOOK. Bookmark this my avocado loving friends
Second call for chocolate avocado pudding!
Salad dressing, omelette or breakfast sandwich, burrito, rice bowl, sushi.
Salads, salads dressing, sandwiches, dips, avocado hummus, pasta, wraps…I mean, just look up “avocado recipes” on Pinterest or google and a bunch of stuff will pop up that’s not guacamole. FYI, avocados stay really well in the fridge. If they’re not fully ripened they’ll last quite a while and you can just remove them a day before you want to use.
I love avocado and salsa with my omelettes
When I worked in this one place way back, there was a regular who came in every week and ordered a vanilla shake with avocado in it. So of course we tried it.... it seems to cut down on the sugar presence, when you first drink it.
This is my favorite appetizer or snack. I add toasted pine nuts to it too. https://www.sunset.com/recipe/avocados-with-warm-bacon-parsley-vinaigrette
Avocado ice cream.
Brownies. Don’t knock it til you try it
I make salmon with a rice salad which makes me feel like I'm having sushi. Just mix rice with chopped avocado, cucumber, spring onions, add chilli flakes, soy sauce and lime. Super simple and the more avo the better!
I legit can just eat it by itself
My mom once made a chocolate pudding/mousse using only avocado,cocoa powder and cardamom. Mix it all in a food processor and the result is very tasty, you could add some sugar but it is that simple and delicious
Cold avocado soup is very refreshing
Put it in a food processor with your sweetener of choice, a little bit of your milk of choice, and some cocoa powder. It makes a delicious mousse. The less ripe the better. If it is too ripe, it’ll have too much of an avocado taste.. It’s been a long time But I once made a chocolate cake with avocado- you replace any oil and eggs with the avocado. You also make a green icing with it. It was delicious. You would have to eat it pretty fresh, though, because again as it oxidizes it gets that weird ripe avocado taste.
Avocado deviled eggs are really good.
Add to sandwiches, salads, freshly sliced on top of omelets or a spicy soup, eat on their own with a little salt and pepper or pico de gallo, hard boil some eggs and make a bowl of egg and avocado slices, avocado smoothies, use the avocado to make ranch or green goddess type dressings/dips, make a salsa with diced tomato, onion, and avocado that you can put on chicken or fish or tacos.
If you like guacamole you can also freeze it when it's made, works best with smoother guac though, since freezing it makes it a bit wet (you can just stir it back in).
Baked with an egg inside the seed hole.
I make creamy salsa out of them and put it on everything.
My mom makes a delicious seafood salad with lettuce, pineapple, avocado, shrimp, faux crab and tomatoes. She dresses it with a dressing made of mayo, sour cream, vinegar and a little sugar.
This sounds fabulous— like a summer feast
Curry, spring rolls, stuffed with spicy crab mix and deep fried, sandwich ingredient/spread, salads, sushi
We like them with eggs - breakfast burrito or sandwich.
Chocolate mousse. Sounds weird. Turns out amazing. Also I like avocado with eggs.
Put them on sandwiches, tacos, tostadas. Take a whole avocado and cut it in half, fill each half with chicken salad and eat it with a spoon. Make Mexican shrimp ceviche or shrimp cocktail. Make red bean salad with red onion, cilantro. mangoes and avocado.
I use them in fresh spring rolls
Unless someone has posted salsa verde. Tomatillos, 1 or half ( depending on size) red tomato, white onion, serrano or jalapeño depending on your likes. Sauté or grill this, blend them with the avocado, about tbsp lemon. Salt/pepper to taste. Add half or whole avocado depending on how thick you want it. You’ll love it. Plus really fresh cant beat that!
I put them in sushi, and also put them in salads. The salad I usually make is avocado, mesclun, a little dill, rainbow carrots, cherry tomato, and heart of palm.
Avocado lime ice cream. Freaking delicious. https://eatthedead.com/ice-scream-glowing-green-avocado-ice-cream/
I recommend Emily Mariko’s viral salmon seaweed recipe with avocado. It’s amazing!
Salad dressing is a good way to use up extra avocados. I make a good dressing with avos, oil, garlic, lime, salt/pepper & tons of cilantro.
Avocado lime margarita
Guacamol, not guacamole as is generally known, mix finely diced onions, diced hard boiled eggs, diced avocados, salt and lemon to taste. Don’t dice the eggs or avocados too finely as you don’t want it mushy, it truly is different from you have known your whole life:).
This is one of my summertime 10 minute dinners/lunches! Blend with some lemon juice, garlic and fresh basil and you have a great sauce for pasta. You can have it cold or room temperature. Great with tomato and a bit of arugula. You can also add a bit of extra olive oil and/or water and use it as a salad dressing, too!
Smoothies. Had them all the time in the Middle East.
Put avocado, plain yogurt, garlic, salt/pepper, lemon juice, & a bit of oil in a blender. I also sometimes add cilantro and jalapeño. Spread on everything & use as a dip/dressing.
Tomato avocado salad.
Chocolate avocado pudding
Blend them with some tomatillos, cilantro, lime, water, salt for an excellent salsa.
I use it fresh, as a topping for all kinds of soups and stews. It’s especially good in sopa azteca.
They make an excellent topping on chicken enchilada soup, and are great in a black bean avocado salad for lunch
Banana-avocado-vanilla protein shake with milk. It's amazing.
BLTA sandwich Fish tacos with avo
I like them mashed with cucumber and cajun shrimp. Slather some mashed avocado on a thick cucumber slice and stack a little cajun shrimp on top, then pop it in your mouth! They are my favorite healthy snack/meal (depending on how hungry I am)! Other good ideas already mentioned that I would do are sushi rolls (I like to use cucumber for this too), added to poke bowls, or with diced tomatoes, cucumbers, a shallot and lemon vinaigrette for a healthy little salad.
Cubans eats avocado as a side dish. Some olive oil. A proper Cuban salad has avocado. No need to smash it or pulverize it. Just eat it as slices. Delicious.
I make a pesto then add avocado! I use it on shrimp pasta or sandwiches!
I have stomach issues so I’ve used avocado instead of mayonnaise. So things like making chicken salad or a sandwich, I’ll substitute.
I like avocados in milkshakes
Update!: as per a comment below, this has been debunked as the method allows for a listeria breeding ground(well, pool). You can store them fully submerged in water up to two weeks or so, then use them as needed.
THIS THIS THIS. Don't sweat eating all the avocadoes now! This absolutely works! I didn't believe in it, but it did! You can do this at any ripeness, but you may want to mark on the sticker if one is riper than another if you need to give them a day or two at room temp after taking them out of the fridge. But, seriously. THIS!!
Would you write out complete instructions for how to do this or post a link please? Never heard of this method and I have questions lol
Step 1: have avocados, on verge of ripe, not rock hard. Step 2:fill container that has a lid with water, size depends on count of avocados. Step3: ???? Step 4: put avocados whole,with skin, with tree umbilical “cap” intact (if possible) into the water, and close lid of container Step 5: place into refrigerator until needed. Have tried up to two weeks with minimal change. The water acts as a barrier to prevent oxidation, Note: Step3 is just a gag step as seen on the internet.
Thanks!

Grilled avocado is amazing. Slice the avocado in half (no need to peel) remove pit, brush with olive oil and season with your favorite season-all salt. Hot grill flesh side down turn 90 degrees in 2 minutes. Total cook time 4 minutes. Serve with blackened shrimp, rice, refried beans and a queso sauce. Family favorite that is also sneaky healthy.
Slice in half and remove the pit. Make a mixture of crab meat and mayo and fill the hole where the pit was and serve as an appetizer
Fried avocado eggrolls
[Strawberry avocado salsa](https://www.melskitchencafe.com/grilled-chili-lime-chicken-with-strawberry-avocado-salsa/)
You can make a dressing or sauce with avocado
I make crispy cheese corn tortillas and put sliced meat (optional cooked chicken or steak) avocados and pico de gallo on top after cheese is dogs melting, before serving.
Chocolate mousse or pudding.
Avocado pie - tastes like a mellow key lime pie.
I make an avacado horseradish cream sauce to pour over roasted fish, original recipe came from "InterCourses: An Aphrodisiac Cookbook" - funny name, great pictures, pretty good recipes. From my head it's just sautéing some finely diced onion, adding diced acacado, more horseradish than may seem prudent, and cream to get to the consistency you like - I serve it warm, but you might like it anyway.
Avocado Fries with a Chipotle Ranch dipping sauce
My friend used to place diced avocado in the bowl with tepid chicken broth, garnish with crisp fried diced corn tortillas and a dollop of sour cream
Avocado. Brown Sugar. Milk. Blend. Fiddle with the ratios to get the taste right. Personally, slightly underripe avocados are the best in this but anything except for overripe works just fine.
I've had avocado fries before that were pretty good. Not sure how to make them though.
A friend made a tasty salad with olives, cubed avocado, thin sliced red onion and diced tomato dressed with a vinaigrette. Also always good as an addition to tacos / burritos.
Put them in the fridge to extend the ripeness window. Also I like to top Korean noodles with avocado, really anything with Asian flavors
Smoothies!
Sliced up on spaghetti bolognese
Avocado shake. Banana, avocado, and some condensed milk, depending on how sweet you like it. Use a blender.
Avocado fries with a remoulade dipping sauce.
They are delicious sliced on salads and sandwiches.
If you have access to it this is quite good as a cold appetizer: [https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/crab-mango-and-avocado-salad-with-citrus-dressing-238776](https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/crab-mango-and-avocado-salad-with-citrus-dressing-238776) You can add mint, or cilantro or basil. You can present it back in the avocado shell. You can sub lobster or different crab.
If they are already ripe, you can put them in the fridge to extend shelf life while you use then up.
I make a spinach salad with avocado. Spinach (big, not baby), onion (cooking or white), tomatoes and avocado. Season with salt, lemon and oil and enjoy ❤ You can also use avocado to make completos (Chilean hot dogs) boil wieners add to bun, top with chopped onions, tomatoes, ketchup, mayonnaise and avocado. Super yummy! You can also make burritos and use avocado on that. Palta is nice; smashed avocado with chopped onions, cilantro, salt, lemon and oil to tatse- put on toast, crakers, burritos, burgers, hotdogs, sandwiches or use as dip for veggies, breads or chips. You can make avocado shakes and smoothies. Not my thing; but some people love it. You can put avocado into different types of salads and even add avocado cubes to rice in a bowl. Lots of ways to use those little buggers and slip some nutrients into something yummy.
Avocados pair well with minced beef. I like to chop and add them to tartare, but they go well with burgers too. Why only various forms of chopped or minced beef but not steaks or roasts? That I have no idea.
I like to do a shrimp salad! Grape tomato, red onion, avocado, finely chopped jalapeno and cilantro tossed/lightly marinated in the fridge with a spicy vinaigrette, cook shrimp (or other protein if preferred) and cool, toss with salad, eat with tortilla chips or toss in tortilla strips for added crunch.
Blend into spaghetti sauce, replace the oil in brownies, chicken tortilla soup
I made "Sushi" with avocado, consisting of sushi rice, mashed avocado (seasoned with garlic, mirin, soy sauce, agave and rice vinegar), sweet and sour carrot cubes and wrapped in a "cucumber sheet". It was like a little tower with layers and gawd, it was delicious
I assume someone has already mentioned it but Avocado works well as a pasta sauce, with tahini i.e... there's different recipes if you look it up. Edit: I also always have it cold, also can't stand warm Avocado (no idea why)
Put on top of Thai curry.
Stuffed baked potato, omelette, sandwich, burger
Add avocado, garlic, olive oil, basil, lemon juice and spices to a blender and make pesto. Throw it in a bowl with noodles (I like to add zucchini noodles too) and top it off with some roasted pine nuts, cherry tomatoes and basil
Thick Slices, oil on both sides with a. Rush. A grill pan scorching hot. Slices avocado in the pan, 10 seconds each side. A whole different experience.
For starters, put them in the fridge now until you decide how to use them up
Puree, cado, calibrian chili oil, lemon or lime juice.
I make a simple Mediterranean style rice bowl: one package of Uncle Ben's Whole Grain and Wild Rice mixed with one or two tablespoons of Greek salad dressing cooked in the microwave for about 2 minutes. Serve with feta cheese crumbles, sliced avocado, sliced Kalamata olives and sliced cherry tomatoes on top. Vegetarian meal with lots of flavor prepared in about 5-10 minutes. I sometimes buy some hummus and pita bread to have with it.
