If you’re looking for a way to use your ripe avocados, this list of avocado recipes will help. There are ideas for guacamole, stuffed avocados, and more.
For more ideas of what to cook, check out all of our recipes.
I love avocados. We use them all the time and have a few favorite avocado recipes. Everyone gravitates towards guacamole when they think of avocados, but there are other ways to use them.
To help you add avocados to your meals, I put together a list of our favorite avocado recipes.
There are ideas for making the avocado the star and others where it’s just the supporting cast.
Avocado Recipes
Avocado Toast Bruschetta
Avocado toast is a really popular breakfast recipe. But what if you want it other times of the day?
Just make this avocado toast bruschetta. It’s the perfect appetizer and I make them often when we have company over. Any time I do, they’re always the first app to go.
Guacamole Wonton Cups
Wonton wrappers are baked to become the perfect vessel to fill with homemade guacamole.
I really like making these for a party because everyone can just grab one and have guac and chips that way instead of constantly sticking chips into a communal bowl of guacamole.
Vegan Avocado Potato Salad
Potato salad is usually vegetarian, but it’s not often vegan because of the eggs used to make mayo. Enter this avocado potato salad.
The creaminess comes from the avocados, rather than a mayo, so it’s accidentally vegan. We always make sure to have at least one vegan side dish when we host potlucks (since one of our good friends is vegan) so this recipe is great if you do that too.
Homemade Chunky Guacamole
Guacamole is the most popular avocado dish to eat, but it actually takes a lot of finesse to make a really tasty batch.
More than a decade ago, a lady I met at a farm stand in Florida who taught me and my cousin all the guacamole secrets. The most important … the avocado must be chunky. She actually (jokingly) refused to sell us an avocado unless we promised to make chunky guac. We did, followed her suggestion, and never looked back.
Cucumber And Avocado Salad
If you want a light summer side dish, this cucumber and avocado salad is it.
You make your own lime vinaigrette, which only takes a minute to whip up, to dress the fresh salad. It’s so tasty and easy to make for dinner or a potluck.
Avocado Mayo
One of our favorite condiments is avocado mayo. It’s so good and unexpected.
Plus, it adds more flavor to your sandwich than just plain mayo does.
Bacon And Avocado Mayo Sandwich
This bacon and avocado mayo sandwich is probably my favorite recipe on this list. At the very least, it’s in the top three.
Everything is better with bacon, and this sandwich is no exception.
Pastina-Stuffed Avocados
These pastina-stuffed avocados are such a light and fresh dinner recipe.
The only thing you cook is the pastina. The other ingredients are stirred in raw. That leaves the recipe with a lot of varying textures. It has a really good mouth feel that way, and definitely something you want to keep eating.
Guacamole Turkey Burgers with Pepper Jack Cheese
The fresh, simple guacamole in these guacamole turkey burgers really balances out the spice of the burger, resulting in a really tasty of bite of food.
If you don’t want to make a quick guac, you can top it with avocado slices instead.
Lentil And Cauliflower Vegan Tacos
Even if you’re not vegan, you should make these lentil and cauliflower tacos. Meat eaters won’t miss the meat in these at all.
Instead of meat, there’s a delicious lentil and cauliflower mix. It sits on top of a bunch of mashed avocado. The creaminess and freshness balance out the richness of the lentil and cauliflower mixture.

I love avocadoes but you know, we only just use it for milk shakes and well, I eat it raw. And oh, I like ordering avocado mousse. :) But my goodness, there are so many things we could do with it!

I will have to try this out with my mom. She loves avocado and I would love to try something different with it as my mom generally only wants it one way. Its good to find other ways to use it. These look like some delicious recipes.
