Hi,

I want to eat more avocado for the health benefits but its not the easiest or nicest thing to eat!!

I´ve tried mashing it up with fresh garlic, tomatoes and parsley or coriander but it still doesn´t taste great. I love Gaucamole but can´t seem to make it myself. I´ve also tried eating it on its own with salad but thats not very nice either.

Has anyone got some yummy receipes for me?

Try a mashed up boiled egg and a small amount of garlic.

a very tastefull way of eating avocado is mashing it and then mix in some cheese with herbs (type philadelphia green herbs), you can put in as much or as little as you want , then i do it on a corncracker and its delicous
good luck

Are you sure you're eating them ripe enough? Avocadoes are delicious and nourishing, but they can be a little bitter if unripe. Avocadoes are ripe enough to enjoy when (a) you can flick out the little plug at the stem end with a fingernail, and (b) they will dent without springing back if you squeeze between thumb and index finger.

Try sandwiches with avocado, tomato and alfalfa sprouts (or just avocado and tomato ketchup). Try pasta - cooked and drained - with olive oil and chopped avocado stirred in, and a little salt and pepper sprinkled on top.

Finely-chopped avocado can be mixed with sour cream to make a fantastic dip for corn chips or doritos. Much easier to make than guacamole.

My hubby cuts them in half then puts them in the oven till they're hot. Then we eat them with Prawns or Crayfish tails in garlic, lime and chilli sauce. Yum!

My favourite guacamole type recipe is this, mash a ripe avocado with juice of a lemon, add a touch of chilli flakes or powder and a little salt. Very simple and very very delicious, I use it as a salsa with grilled fish, or as a dip.
