I sure do like 'em!

Me too! I've been making this particular one quite frequently: baby arugula, fresh mint, minced shallot, chickpeas, diced cucumber (peeled and seeded, pls), avocado, heirloom tomato (going out of season now, sadly), lime juice, sesame vinaigrette, salt & pepper, and a soft boiled egg.

I've been growing radish sprouts and mixin' them with small diced cucumbers and tomatos with a balsamic vinegrette.
No lettuce for me!

Its avocado season in Trinidad and I've got about a dozen sitting in my kitchen. Any good ideas?
One can only eat so much quacamole.

Sliced avocado mixed with sliced citrus makes a lovely salad.

Just spread the avocado, thickly, on a slice of good bread, and sprinkle a little coarse salt on the top. No need to get fancy. That was what I had for supper last night.

I'm gluten intolerant so spreading it on bread isn't a great option.

Eat it with a spoon...
If you have unripe ones they make great tempura (you can have rice flour, right?)

My mom makes a great bleu cheese/avocado/balsamic vingar/olive oil dip. They always spread it on little bread toasties , but I suggest corn tortilla chips. You could also make a face mask. :]

I've heard it's good for your hair too.

Avocado Lime ice cream.
(Never had or heard of it. But I'd eat it!)

Lately my schools has been saying they have "Vegatatian Chef Salad", isn't this just salad then?

Mom used to grow cucumbers when I was young, and this summer I had a friend who gave me some home-grown cukes. If they are picked young, they have such amazing flavor and texture and they do not need to be peeled or seeded. The ones we get in the supermarket are nasty rubber mallets in comparison.

Even better! Since you are in Avocato Territory, look arround a little. When I lived in Uruapan Mich. They had an avocato that was grown as an ornamental planting. I was told that the fruit wouldn't ship. It was black like a Haas but with a smooth skin and about as big as a softball. We used to cut them in half long ways,remove the bone, sprinkle on a little crushed rock salt and eat them with a spoon like you would a cantelope. It was fabulous, at least as good as an excellent soft cheese. You just might find one in your neighbors front yard.

Oh, absolutely. When I was visiting my grandparents last summer on an island off the coast of Massachusetts we had lots of cukes from their garden. Barbecued local lamb, too. Delicious!
