I’m not exaggerating when I say that I very well may love avocados more than anyone else in the world. Not a day goes by that I don’t consume at least one, and just the thought of cutting into a perfectly ripe avocado makes my mouth water and heart skip a beat.

So for today’s 10 Best, we’ve rounded up some of the most delicious and unique dishes that showcase everyone’s favorite ingredient du jour. Click through, and if you love avocados as much as I do, leave a comment and let us know your favorite way to enjoy!

    I love this post – avocados are one of my favorite things and I’ve been buying them by the bagful! My favorite way to eat them is smashed on toast with sea salt and pepper. Yum!

    I am so thrilled about this roundup – so many ways to feed my avocado addiction, so little time! I’m especially excited to try that ceviche, as well Katie. And Amanda – I agree that nothing’s better than avocado on toast! For breakfast, lunch, dinner… so good.

    As a fellow Texan and avocado lover, I really enjoyed this little roundup! My favorite way to eat them is grilled and then topped with fresh goodies (like this: http://bit.ly/PI12w2) — so, so good.

    That avocado sorbet looks amazing! My favorite is simply avocado smashed on toast with a drizzle of olive oil, salt and fresh cracked pepper, and red pepper flakes–the best!

    A friend once made an avocado, mango and quinoa (with a drizzle of lemon) salad – so good I now make it regularly.
    My favourite way to eat them however is mixed with hearts of palm, sweetcorn and green chicory leaves (with a dijon mustard, oil and cider vinegar dressing)… unusual but amazing!

    This is perfect! I love avocados! I have been looking everywhere for different ways to include them into my daily diet, rather than the mundane way of eating them straight as it is with some honey drizzled on them – which is good too, but variety is much more fun. Thanks for the recipes.
