I love avocados, and Bob got a couple on sale again this week. I've been eating low-carb for a while, so no chips and guacamole. I did make a spicy guacamole to serve with chicken earlier this week, and it was great!

Does anybody have any great ideas for a low-carb main dish utilizing two ripe avocados?

I'm lucky enough to have several avacado trees. i pretty much have them all year. in addition to Guacamole, we usually cut one up on our salad each night. They are also great on a turkey sandwhich. enjoy

My lo-cal avocado guilty pleasure is shredded cabbage (cole slaw mix) light mayo, a teaspoon of the juice from a can of chipotle peppers, and sliced avocado on a wheat tortilla. Mix it all up and go to town. Probably the only low cal thing I make. Carbs? I dont know if the tortilla has a lot or not.

I really like avacado sandwiches (my most recent favorite is grilled avacado and brie)...but that doesn't cover your low carb requirement. Come to think of it, due to the fattiness and soft texture of avacado, I pretty much always pair it with some sort of carbohydrate. Rice for sushi, bread on sandwiches, chips for guacomole etc.

A compound butter like Alton Brown makes in his avacado episode would be good too. Its really good on just about any meat.

You could go whole hog and do the ice cream or buttercream icing.

Grill a chicken breast with cumin and cayenne, as the chicken finishes up add a slice of monterey jack cheese and a few slices of avocado. Come to think of it, a tomato would be good too. (It'd all be great on a nice crusty bun, but you said low carb!)

My wife makes a delicious salad that is basically avocado, tomato, cucumber, onions and olives chopped up and briefly marinated with some good balsamic vinegar and olive oil.

I like to mash an avacado & mix it in with tunafish for a tunafish salad. Just add a couple spoons of mayo, a spoon of mustard, maybe a chopped green onion & some sweet basil or tyme to the mashed avacado & tuna, mix it all up well with a fork. I always make it on toast for a sandwich, but you could also stuff a tomato with the mix, or spoon it onto a bed of lettuce, sprouts, kale, mustard greens, etc... Or you might leave out the mustard & mayo & use 2 mashed avacados with the tuna. You can also do the same thing with shrimp, crab or chicken. Regards, GF.

They're good if you cut them in half, take the seed out, hollow them out and then mash, then mix with whatever you like, put the mash back in the avacado shell and bake in an oven. mmm stuffed things for the win!

This is especially good with bacon and cheese, but then again, what isnt?

I don't know if it's low-cal but I like putting avocado on my bagels with cream cheese, salt and pepper in the mornings.
