The perfect way to use avocadoes? Guacamole, of course. Consider making some tonight with some fajitas or tacos and then snacking on the guacamole over the weekend. You can skip the chips and dip carrots in the guacamole instead.

This recipe, provided by Arnaldo Richards, the chef/owner of Pico’s Mex Mex, was originally featured in our September 2010 article “Olé, Guacamole!” 

Other ways to use avocadoes? Eat it plain with a little bit of salt and pepper as a great snack. Or make an “avocado boat” by halving the avocado, scooping out the insides, whipping up some chicken or tuna salad, and then putting the salad in the avocado. Or slice it up and put it on a sandwich.
