You guys go nuts for avocados! If I post an avocado recipe, I know it'll be a success. If it wasn't for the fact that I'd end up getting ridiculously bored of them very quickly, I'd post an avocado recipe every day and relish in all the blog traffic brought to me by you avocado enthusiasts.
Since I can't do that, I thought I'd do the next best thing, and share a collection of my favourite vegetarian avocado recipes. They're so versatile - stick a few slices on top of basically any Mexican dish, blend them up to make an awesome creamy (but dairy-free!) sauce, smash them onto toast... you could try a new avocado recipe every day for a year without making the same thing twice. Unfortunately I don't have all day, so I've been restrained enough to stop at 50.
I've split these recipes into meal categories (breakfast, lunch, dinner etc - even some dessert recipes!), but obviously if you feel like eating brownies for breakfast, or eggs for dinner, go for it. I won't judge (in fact you'd kind of be my hero).
Enjoy! Let me know which is your favourite!
(as usual, I've marked on the recipes that are explicitly vegan, but remember that lots of the others could easily be made vegan too with simple substitutions or omissions)

Super round up as usual! Thanks for the mention! :)
Kaitlin @ The Garden Grazer says
You have the best round-ups! I just jumped on the avocado train a few months ago! ;) So many here I want to try. YUM!
Becca @ Amuse Your Bouche says
Thanks! :) They're some of my favourite posts to write - soooo many recipes, I'm in heaven!
Elizabeth says
I love avocados too except for a brief period of time when I seriously overdosed on them when I was living in the tropical north of Australia. In those parts avocados are known as poor man's butter because they are so plentiful and cheap. Who would have thought you could eat TOO much avocado.
Becca @ Amuse Your Bouche says
Haha I tend to eat them non-stop for about a week (they're cheaper if you buy in bulk!) and then I get sick of them and go without for a couple of months!
