In salads, sandwiches or just by itself…it is yummy in any form:-)
You can also mix it with hummus dip. Trader Joes actually sells avacado hummus.
Oatmeal is another excellent source for HDL 🙂
Previous comment is by me.
1. Chopped (kachumber style) Avocado + Cucumber + Tomatoes + Spring Onion(or onion) drizzled with lemon – (salt is optional)
2. Other ways as Ameeta mentioned – sliced or in sandwich
Per researcher, especially women needs eat one avocado per week.
We don’t get it in India right Amisha?
Avacados are now available in Mumbai but the quality is not as good.
We add avacodos to all salads we make(bean salad, moong dal salad,etc)
Protein Rich Gaucomale by mixing tofu in it is also delicious. This can be used as a spread on sandwiches instead of chutney as it is very creamy.
Avacado soup for summer is just amazing.
(Avacados, cucmbers,green bell pepper, mint, yogurt, cilantro and peanuts all processed together and chilled)
We have also had avaocado choclate. I have tried it home too. But nothing to talk about.
Some of you tasted the Avacado ice cream at our place during the brainstorming. :-). Although it tastes more like pista ice cream.
Avacado in any way is yummy. It has a really nice nutty taste. Though its high in calories it has other good benefits too.
Once we made Avacado pickles just in 5 min.
– Cut Avacado
– Add Pickle Mix Masala
– Add salt for taste.
– Add Olive Oil
and you are done. Try it’s instant.
This time we are planning to make Avacado milkshake once in Shala snack.
Thanks all for these wonderful ideas.
sliced in salad or Sandwich.
For guacamole – mashed avacodao, roasted garlic oil, cilantro, lemon juice, salt , pepper , spring onion and chilli..
Exercise is also a good source of HDL.
We take inspiration from the great Indian sev puri – except that it has neither.
Trader joes crackers that do not have even 0.1% polyunsaturated fat. Put avocado and other veggies and chutney to taste and eat it.
Avacado does increase HDL but it all depends on other combination as well. For Sanjeev since he has high triglycerids along with low HDL, we were told to avoid Avacado’s in his diet.

I learnt to make a healthier version of it from my filipino frineds here, with 2% milk instead of whole milk and use of honey instead of sugar. A very yumm and filling drink for quick breakfast or evening snack craving

To add, you may or may not choose to add icecream.
Sejal, I accept the Avacado milkshake as present from you this weekend. 🙂
Sneha can u send the avacado soup recipe with proportion of each ingredients . Are the bell pepper raw or cooked?
Any one try to mix Avacado in Pav Bhaji yet? Raw Avacado has that nice buttery taste for me which may go well with PB. Stay tuned. I may try it this weekend.
