Do you like Avocados?

[GEM]

Love 'em! We eat lost of them. Avacado (mashed up and mixed with breastmilk) was the first actual food that little Paul ate. They have tons of good fat and nutrients that make them an awesome food for preemies. They're still his very favorite food!

I love them in salads, on sandwhiches, in wraps, in dips . . . yummy!

Yeah! Avacado is a great first food! We love avacado here (with exception to DH who lives on the toddler diet).

I like them. I made guacamole for my dd's bday party today. I think my brother, my mom and I were the only ones that ate it, but that's ok. More for us.

I actually didn't even know I liked these until I started Atkins! I never had any desire to buy one and then a friend told me how great they were and since I can eat them on Atkins, I tried one! Now I love them!

I voted dislike............I'm not overly fussed on them, but can eat a little bit.

I love them.

I think my favourite is diced with big juicy prawns (shrimps) covered with cocktail dressing!

I've never had guacamole before - I'll have to put it on the next shopping list and give it a try!

You know, I haven't found a good "premade" guacamole. I only like it fresh from the avacado. If anyone knows of a GOOD one, please tell me!!

I love avocado on bacon/lettuce/tomato sandwiches.

joshsmom and anyone else , could you post your recipes for guacamole for me?

 

[joshsmom]

3 avocados - peeled, pitted, and mashed
1 lime, juiced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup diced onion
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 roma (plum) tomatoes, diced
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 pinch ground cayenne pepper (optional)

In a medium bowl, mash together the avocados, lime juice, and salt. Mix in onion, cilantro, tomatoes, and garlic. Stir in cayenne pepper. Refrigerate 1 hour for best flavor, or serve immediately.

Makes 4 servings

I don't always use the cayenne pepper because some of my family members don't like it spicy. After you make this, it doesn't last very long. If we don't eat it the same day I make it, we throw it out because the avacados go bad quickly! But I really like this recipe!! Good luck!

Wow, that was a quick response - thanks joshsmom!

I've never heard of cilantro before so after a quick Google search found out that it's a different name for coriander! It looks very similar to parsley.

I use Cilantro in a lot of my Mexican dishes. I like it!! Hope you like the guacamole--it's a hit here!!!

P.S. I'm off work today so I get to cruise the DIS--that's why I was able to answer so fast!!
