I love the taste of avocado but I'm not really sure how to use it...does anyone have any good recipes?

Question

What kind of salads would it compliment?

Answer 1

Hommemade guacamole is super easy; 1 avacado, 1 small tomato, diced, fresh lime juice (squeeze half a lime), fresh cilantro, salt, pepper, and a dollop of sour cream. Blend it up, and serve.

Avacado is great on sandwiches, and excellent in many salads.

Avacado and papaya salad is my favorite:
1 Florida avocado, peeled and cut into large dice
1 ripe papaya, peeled and cut into large dice
1/2 Vidalia onion, thinly sliced
1 bunch baby arugula
2 tablespoons tarragon leaves
Orange and Vanilla Vinaigrette, recipe follows
Layer salad with arugula and tarragon, then avocado, papaya and onions. Finally drizzle with vinaigrette.
Vinaigrette:
1 cup orange juice
1 vanilla bean, split
1 garlic clove, pureed with knife
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
Kosher salt, to taste
Fresh ground black pepper
To a saucepan add orange juice, split vanilla bean and scrape seeds into juice. Add vanilla bean to juice, bring to a simmer and reduce liquid by 2/3. Meanwhile, smash garlic clove with a pinch of salt using flat side of a knife. Allow orange juice reduction to cool, remove vanilla bean, then add garlic puree, rice wine vinegar and olive oil. Stir well and season with salt and pepper. Yield: 4 servings

Also, add avacado and creamcheese to your next backyard burger, meat or veggie!

Answer 2

Any kind of salad would be great! Chef or veggie garden would be best or a taco salad too!

Also slice and out on a turkey, chicken or ham sandwich very yummy! Or on a burger too, try it topped on a steak!

Make avocado, by adding lemon juice, garlic, jalepenos,cilantro, tomato and a bit of sour cream to mashed avocado is also wonderful.

Blend avocado with alittle chicken broth, heavy cream or sour cream, garlic, lemon juice and a bit of hot sauce for a cold soup.

Take slices and top with lemon, salt hot sauce and garlic with sliced onion and it is a great salad in intself.

add in mix vegetables, or any vegetables that you would prefer.

add in mayonaise, but not too much. remember to gauge for how many people.

add in your preferred amounts of avocado, and VOILA!
avocado and chicken salad.

if you just like the taste of avocado, there is an indonesian drink that uses avocado. it is like an avocado shake.

you could dice avocados and put them into the blender. it is better to get ripe avocadoes for this.

pour mixture into a glass of ice. stir in brown sugar syrup if you have any.

yup, that's it

Answer 8

Guacamole. I know it's the obvious answer but you can have it with chips, on sandwhiches, wraps. I always put lemon, seasalt, and a little cayenne pepper in mine. If you really want to get creative make an avocado smoothie. Sounds weird but it is so good. Goes great with mango and tropical fruits with banana.

Answer 10

You could just cut it in half, take out the seed and sprinkle some salt on it or a spoon of mayo, grab a spoon and start scooping away.
