Having 2 prolific and extremely yummy avocado trees on the farm, we
have them daily. Two ideas: Use avocado instead of mayo on a sand
wich. Also, many nights, our "vegetables" are sliced tomatoes (we
have salmonella free here in Hawaii) and sliced avocados, chilled in
the icebox and served with dinner. Looks pretty on the plate and is
so easy to do, and I know it is good for you.

Just my $.02
