Avocado really is a super food. Not just because of all of the nutritional benefits, but because there is so much you can do with it. No longer confined to Mexican food, you can put it in an omelette, turn it in to ice cream, make a chocolate dessert with it, add it to chilli or turn it in to a soup. Here are 30 new avocado recipes for you to try.
We are HUGE fans of avocado here at Hungry Healthy Happy. Even just with a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of sea salt and eaten with a spoon it is a great snack. But, there is SO much more you can do with it.
We are sharing 30 of our favourite avocado recipes that show just how versatile this fruit is. Think you don't like avocado? Give some of these a try, as there are sure to change your mind.
If you have never tried avocado before, these recipes are a great place to start and if you are already a fan of avocado, then I am sure you will enjoy all of these avocado recipes!

some fabulous ideas here Dannii. I love avocado - such a great ingredient in so many different cuisines! thanks for including mine
Dannii
It's a shame that people only associated it with Mexican food. It can be used in so many different dishes.

I adore avocado, now I want to enjoy it in so many new ways!

This posts gives such a huge avocado craving, doesn't it.

I have never really liked avocado - I find the texture too slimy to be palatable, but I must say that some of these recipes might entice me to try again with the slimy beast!
In the past I have used organic avocados in a breakfast green juice simply because I know they very, very good for me but they are a bit of a pain to add to a juice because you have to blend them rather than juice them and that means another lot of utensils to wash up!
Dannii
I think the texture if one of the things I like most about it. Putting it in a smoothie is a great way to hide the taste and texture.
Becca @ Amuse Your Bouche
I bloomin LOVE avocado :) love this collection, thanks for including my kale and avocado burritos! I'm loving the sound of those brownies.

They are much more versatile than people think.

What a cracking round up Dannii! I still remember eating my first even avocado in Australia many many years ago and it was truly love at first bit :)

I don't actually remember eating avocado for the first time. It must have been in guacamole.
kellie@foodtoglow
I am not a very demanding person but if I don't have avocado in some shape or form everyday then I am seriously put out! Great ideas both sweet and savoury - to try. Thanks for this compilation Dannii, and for including my odd little soup one. :-)
Dannii
Haha, I am the same! I get stressed without my daily avocado.
Anita-Clare Field
Fabulous, we LOVE Avocado in our house and you've just trebled our uses with them, each of the ideas is a gem.

Enjoy all the avocado eating!

Avocados are one of my favorite things, so I could eat just about all of these recipes in one sitting! haha

Me too! That might be an avocado overdose though!
