Avocados

[Shiznet4]

Ok, I bought 2 avocados this weekend. I dont know if I like them or not but I have seen them mentioned in some books as good low-carb foods.

Can someone give me a decent recipe using avocados. Thanks.

I use avocado to make a salsa. I have used the salsa over salad and salmon. The ingredients are:

avocado, tomato, onion, olive oil, and cilantro.

I only use maybe a slice of tomato and onion it depends on your taste buds.

Avacado

I like to just mash them with a fork, add jalepeno, garlic, cilanto and salt. I ususally spread it over a nice steak.

I think ensive that only one half an avocado per day is allowed on induction. Try rubbing a bit of vinegar or lemon juice on the cut side - do not peel, and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Unless you can share with the family, of course. Actually, this could be so rich in fat that you could stall :yikes so it would be best to only try eating 1/2 this week to test out your resistance.

I love avocado plain with just a sprinkling of salt.

Avocado

[/b]I heard that Avocado was NOT ok on Induction.... is that true?

[book]

you are allowed a few treat foods and half an avocado is one of the choices. A good choice too with the potassium and beneficial fats!

Yes, just plain with salt...absolute heaven! Also, along with not peeling the unused half, leave the seed in too...it will keep it fresh. If you make guacamole (sp) or dip with it, put the seed in the dip to keep it from turning brown.

avocado and caviar

someone posted this recipe a while back and it is fantastic ....you may not like caviar but there is something that speaks evil/wonderful about this one I tipped it in jicama!!!! wonderful party dip the bowl did not need washing!!!

small jar of decent but not expensive caviar reserve some eggs for sprinkling on top
2 avacados smashed
a couple of tbl mayo
lime juice of one lime
salt and pepper

puree avacado with mayo lime salt and pepper until smooth then stir in caviar ...the black caviar tastes wonderful but the color leaves a bit to be desired...the pink eggs are much better looking!
sprinkle with the remaining eggs and a bit of chopped parsley for garnish.....bring on the vodka ...just kidding not on induction darn it!

a safe induction friendly serving is about 1/8of this with a few thin slices of jicama for dipping ...measure to be sure....

Apparently California avocados have more fat in them than Florida avocados.

I'd love to find a good guacamole recipe.

I like to eat my avacado with salt and a spoon! Yummy, is it lunch time yet? :joy

One of our favourite meals, even before I started Atkins, was a regular salad of mixed veggies, chunks of avocado on the side and whatever salad dressing you like. I'd saute chicken and load cajun spices on it. I like my cajun chicken pretty peppy, and when you take a bite of spicy chicken, then a bite of cool creamy avocado...yummmm....SO good!
