Every year as we head into summer, avocado recipes surge in popularity. Here are ten of my of the most creative, healthy and supremely delicious ways to eat avocado -- for breakfast, lunch and dinner!
A perfectly ripe avocado, a sprinkle of coarse salt, a light drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, and a spoon makes me so happy. It's delectable!
And it's so much fun to work them into recipes, too. Avocado salad, avocado bread, avocado desserts, avocado fries . . . . let's just jump in, shall we?
Not only is this amazing to spread on your favorite toast, you can also broil and grill fish with it, add it to pasta and roasted cauliflower . . . the possibilities are endless.
This easy-to-make recipe is delicious toasted with a spread of butter for breakfast, for lunch with cheese and fruit, or on its own for dessert -- and even better, with a scoop of cinnamon-spiced ice cream!
The texture of rich creamy avocado slices against fresh and tangy citrus never disappoints. Add to that pickled onion and honey-glazed pistachios, and you will have your guests begging your for more of this delightful salad.
An unforgettable delicious twist on a French Fry, with a spiced crispy outside, and a creamy inside, these will wow everyone who tries them! They're an excellent appetizer or side dish.
We can't very well talk about ways to use avocados and not include a guacamole recipe. With small segments of lemon and roasted poblano chiles, this one is special and not to be missed!
Creamy Avocado Salad Dressing or Sauce
This avocado dressing will bring salads to new levels! Not only that, it's also a fantastic dipping sauce for veggies and fries, and is amazing with watermelon salad and blackened salmon.
Strawberry Avocado Summer Salsa
The unexpected duo of strawberry and avocado is so delicious in this salsa! You'll want it on chips, grilled chicken and fish. It's festive, fun and it's ideal for any summer meal.
If you've only had a summer tomato gazpacho, trying gazpacho made with avocados is a must. Rich, creamy and fresh, it's topped with lime-pickled red onion, tomatoes and tiny chunks of avocado.
This is no ordinary avocado toast. Packed with vitamins and delicious fresh flavors, it's super hearty and you'll love it for breakfast or lunch, and perhaps dinner, too. 😉
The use of avocado in these super chocolatey cookies adds so much, yet its flavor is indistinguishable. It makes the texture super moist and chewy, and it also enhances the chocolate flavor. And let's not forget, avocados are nutrient-rich!
I hope you'll try a few of these ways to use avocados. They all combine nutrition, creativity, and of course, deliciousness!
Enjoy!

So many good ideas! I’ll add one more — simple cut in half and fill the cavity with homemade Worcestershire sauce, then scoop it out little by little with a spoon. Sounds odd but its really good!

You need to try the Filipino Style Avocado and Milk in Ice, thats my favourite. Something different for someone who is used to eating savoury avocadoes. Now I am intrigued with that Avocado fries, definitely need to try it
