100 Ways to Use an Avocado
It’s no big secret that we like avocados here. Okay, we don’t like them, we’re obsessed with them. So you can imagine my shock and outrage when I realized we had never compiled a 100 Ways for avocado. I had to remedy this immediately. So here it is: 100 ways to cook one of the greatest gifts nature has bestowed upon the human race. There’s so much more to this majestic fruit than just guacamole (although we have some uniquely great guac recipes in this roundup, too). And just in time for Cinco De Mayo! You’re welcome.

It is a serious crime against the avocado to conceal its flavor inside breads, cookies, cupcakes, and other savory dishes so that it can barely be tasted. Just thought you’d like to know.
All of these look amazing! I’d love to try all 100 of them. Thanks for including my mousse in the mix. Avocado is an amazing fruit! 🙂
Well MaryAlice, we each have our own avoca-dos and avoca-don’ts. Just thought you’d like to know.
i exploit avocado for it’s nutritional value and contribution to the viscosity of fruit smoothies. this diminishes its flavor at times. arrest me.
though, when i do this I generally only use half and fill the other half with salsa and top it with a dab of sour cream… so maybe that will get me past the jury.
Thanks for including my pasta. This has given me lots of other ideas — I’d better get busy!
Thanks for including my chicken salad. Now I need to go to the store and buy some avocados!
I like to just cut the damn thing open, remove the stone and eat it. Is this so wrong?
I never ever liked avocados until my aunt told me to try it. To my surprise I actually liked it!
Thanks for including my avocado pizza post! I also created a post of creative ways to eat an avocado (pertinent to this post).
