I think I love them more than anyone in the world too 🙂 That avocado & shrimp ceviche looks stunning!
Avocados are hands-down one of my favorite foods, Chanel, so I am in love with this post. And, I think that shrimp and avocado ceviche is calling my name. Delish!
I agree, avocados are the best!! I’ll eat them with anything, even desserts thanks to Jeanine! 😉
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.
Big fan as well and the hubs LOVES them! Some delicious ideas here – thanks hun x
Wow, I would eat every single thing in this slideshow. Those guacamole cups look scrumpticous!
One of everything, please! Avocados are my favorite. Thank you very much for including my burrito in your roundup!
Ummmmmmm my mouth is watering!! I eat a large Hass avocado everyday…sometimes more than that hehe. I will absolutely be trying most if not all of these! Thanks for posting Chanel!
Besides the lovely salad where can I get the fabulous tablecloth?!
I like them with hickory or mesquite seasoning salt.
