Avocados - 3 for a dollar. Recipe?

I need to start eating avocados and want to know a few simple
recipes. I have them and a couple of limes in my refrigerator waiting
for your advice.

Smash them up (I assume you know how to remove them from the skin)
with a fork and sweeten with Splenda to taste. Eat like a dessert.
Or rough chop a tomato and a small onion, add to the smashed avocado
(no sweetener with this!) - drizzle a little olive oil and squeeze in
the lime juice, add salt and pepper (again to your taste) - mix
everything together. Serve on cold shrimp or chicken, on low-carb
tortillas if they fit into your stage of eating. Or add more oil and
vinegar and make a dressing out of it for salad. Good luck.

they make a great serving dish for ceviche or tuna salad.

for easy ceviche, marinate coked and peeled bay shrimp in lime juice, with
cilantro, diced tomato, salt, and cumin, for several hours (in the fridge).
slice the avocado meat into squares, without removing it from the peel.
serve the ceviche mounded on the avocado half. when you eat it, be sure to
get a bite of avocado with each bite of shrimp.

Cut in slices, sprinkle with Cajun seasoning, eat.

I like to cube them and eat them in salads (especially with cooked shrimp also
added). Sometimes I mash them up, add some green onion, and have them on (low
carb) toast.

I love avocados!

My favorite way to eat them: cut in half, remove large seed. Sprinkle salt
& pepper and eat with a spoon right out of the skin.

The other way I eat them is I'll cut them into chunks and add to a cold
salad (lettuce + tomato + avocado = yum)

I never get around to doing anything else with an avocado because I like to
just eat them out of the skin the best.

Avocado omelet

Make a simple quacamole:

Avocado, mashed with a fork
1 tbsp mayonaisse
1 tbsp onion, minced
1 tbsp lemon juice
salsa or hot sauce to taste

Mix it up.

Omelet: I like the thin kind

Put avocado on half the omelet, fold over. Eat with hot sauce, sour cream.

cut in slices drizzle with olive oil then sprinkle tony chachere's creole
seasoning.

Shrimp Avocado Salad

(also good with crabmeat instead of shrimp)

6 ounces cream cheese (two 3-ounce pkgs), softened
1 can (approx. 5 ounces) tiny shrimp, rinsed and drained
2 Tablespoons mayonaisse
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons chopped fresh or 1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed
1 small ripe avocado, sliced or coarsely chopped.

Mix all ingredients except the avocado together until well blended,
and then fold in the avocado pieces.
