We use avocado the way we might tomatoes: as a garnish. sliced or diced.

In soups like tomato tortilla. In sandwiches: try radish slices, alfalfa sprouts

tomatoes and sliced avocado with a cilantro lime dressing. Great with scramblers

or omelets. Chunky guacamole that more tomatoes, corn, black beans etc. with

avocado chunks.

 

it's also good treated as a vegetable!
