Haas are my favorite, the fatty one's. Some like the more watery variety. | |

I liked to died laughing one day a few years back when I went to the grocery store. There was a sign (I swear to you I am NOT making this up) that said "Low Fat Avocados" posted in amongst the watery ones. Well of course they were lower in fat--duh they are watery so have less fat. But it struck me so funny. I suppose it wouldn't be as funny except this was in California where not that far south of us avocados are grown commercially.

I like to make fruit salads with them also.
Amanda's Salad
1 cup cooked cubed chicken breast
1 orange peeled and sliced
1 grapefruit peeled and sliced
2 handfull's of spring mix (greens)
1 avacado peeled and sliced
Few sprinkles of cashew nuts
I usualy will use a store bought rasberry vinagrette..or something sweet like apricot.
If you have a sweet tooth this is a great way to find that comfort. | |

Some of my other favorites cold avocado gazpacho, avocado "mayonnaise" on any sammy, egg white omelet with fillings ranging from avocado & shrimp to avocado, white cheddar & assorted veggies or pico de gallo, avocado & pear salad... yum...

Pour the goodies into the hole where the seed was and grab a spoon!

Makes a great Guacamole, you can add some Lemon Juice & Garlic, too.

I use the shortcut of Hidden Valley Buttermilk packaged dressing, the kind you add buttermilk to, not milk ! Mash 2 large Haas Avocado, add to dressing. | |

Posted: 6/7/2009 5:14:01 PM | I love avos. Have a half in my fridge right now just begging to be eaten!! Like another poster said- I love them mashed on toast for brekky. On a cold day I will mash onto toast, top with a good cheddar and pop under the grill til golden.
My favourite avo meal is to cut one in half, spoon on a decent chili (bean-based for me, but meat based would be fine) top with some cheese and bake for 15-20 mins in a moderate to hot oven. Serve with water cress or on a bed of rice. Add whatever accompaniments you usualy have with your chili. Dont leave them in the oven longer than 20 mins or they might get bitter- tho that has never happened to mine. Warm creamy avo and hot tangy chili... mmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!  | |
