All my life I have insisted that I hated avacados, wouldn't touch the slimey things. I said the same thing about sushi too, but
When my daughters and I went to Lexington and Concord this summer we ate in a cute little restaurant [the name escapes me of course]. I had a BLT with avacado [see lead photo], I have also heard it called a California BLT. It was wonderful.
I am now buying avacados on a regular basis with the intention of learning to make guacamole, but they are getting eaten before I get a chance. They are ending up on my turkey sandwiches with some humus using my favorite Arnold's bread. Of course there are endless possiblities, adding tomatoes, cukes, cheese, you name it.
What are your favorite ways to use avacados? Anyone have a good guacamole recipe?

I adore avocados! I never liked them before either until the last couple of years. I love them on a sandwich, in a pasta, as a topping for some meatless chili....yummy!
one word: Yummy
The thing about guacamole: it looks like it's already been eaten!
love the guac...but never made a sandwich with it...interesting...
Funny, someone just told me that avacadoes are one of the best things for you, and I should be feeding them to my girl.
When I first saw wasabi, I thought it was guac. I wept...
Guacamole: 3 avocados, 1 tomato, 1/2 onion, cilantro, garlic, salt, pepper, a little bit of lime juice. Chop, slice and dice and mix it all together. It's so easy.
And you can eliminate or add whatever you want and it's still yummy! Sometimes I add feta cheese.....
The only thing I don't like about guac is that it's made with avacado's. Weird.
I've got a recipe - but it's a pretty basic one -- if no one has a better one, I'll email ya...
I love me some avacados! For guac I just add avacados, tomatoes, garlic, purple onion, jalepenio (I totally just spelling that wrong), lemon juice, & celantro then pulse in a food processor. Pretty basic but still pretty darn good!
I love avacados and fresh guac is so fantastic! And easy!
I thought I hated avocados too - when I lived in the UK. The first one I had was in a London restaurant circa 1969. It was rock hard! Since moving to South Africa, I've learned different. Ours are in season now - gorgous
