What dishes do you like & prepare with this creamy velvety nutritious fruit? I enjoy salads, garnishing soups, dips (guacamole), Mexican cuisine, stuffing an avo with crab salad, spread on toast, or just naked. What are some of your favorites.

This reminds me of a visit to London when I was in college. We had prawns in avocado halves whenever we could. As I recall it was with a very light tomato-based dressing.
I had a half avocado (unpeeled) that was lightly brushed with olive oil mixed with a drop or two of honey and grilled, cut side down. I had never had grilled avocado, but this was delicious. It was served with grilled pineapple, peaches, and grilled prawns on a lightly dressed bed of mixed greens. Yum!
Well then PF I'm going to have to convince you to try Dad's avocado dip. After eating this you will ask where has this been all my life.Avocados rarely make it into dish around here. Cut in half and eat, nothing fancy, no salt and pepper or anything.

Avocado Salsa
4 medium tomatos
4 jalapeno's
seeded, minced
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1/4 cup minced onion
1 clove of garlic
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 coarse salt
1/2 black pepper
1 ripe avocado
1. Preheat grill to high.
2. Place the tomatoes on the grate and grill until lightly browned and soft
Let cool.
3. Put tomatoes in a food processor or blender and process to a
coarse puree. Add all other ingredients except avocado and
process just to mix, not too much.
4. Add avocado and process just a bit. Avocado pieces should be still visible in salsa.
5. Add more lime juice and salt and pepper to taste.
I like a bit of Avocado oil with that--but I just eat 1/2 at a time.A little S&P and a light squeeze of lime juice and they're good on practically anything.
I love putting them in breakfast tacos.
