To ask for sandwich fillings that go with avocado?

I have recently discovered that I like avocado Blush I know... proper millenial here!

Anyway. I'm a bit unsure what to have with it. I fancy having it in sandwiches or a salad for a packed lunch, so please hit me up with ideas for what (vegetarian, so no meat or fish) fillings go with it, or other delicious ideas for what to use it for!

I like Philadelphia with mashed avocado.
On a salad I like it with rocket, a grain ( cous cous, freekah, etc) beetroot, pomegranate seeds.
It's nice on a seed bread toast, mashed with a little salt, lime and chili.
Sweet Potatoes are nice with guacamole.
It's nice on top of a veggie chili
I used to use them in smoothies as they can be bland but creamy.
Make sure that you get avocados that are ripe. If they are hard and not ready they are tasteless and awful.

I don't understand how pp have read the OP requesting veggie options then suggest meat? What's that about those who have done it?

What is the pointing in writing anything only to get it ignored, yet want to post the wrong thing?

Lettuce and mozzarella
I love guacamole so would make that rather than sandwiches, with good quality crisps and crudité

Bonnefoi · 07/01/2019 20:10

Mozzarella and tomato. Or mozzarella and pesto. Making me hungry. Hmm

Pachyderm1 · 07/01/2019 20:11

It’s deeelish with grilled halloumi!

thenewaveragebear1983 · 07/01/2019 20:12

Fried egg, cheese (any will do but I like Stilton) avocado. Amazing

Bluntness100 · 07/01/2019 20:13

I have never had one so no advice of how to enjoy them

You do understand you don't need to respond to every thread and you can just pass on by right? And that she wasn't asking you personally?

Odoreida · 07/01/2019 20:13

I had it today with shredded red cabbage, ricotta, salt and pepper, squeeze of lemon, splash of olive oil

Wholovesorangesoda · 07/01/2019 20:14

I was having it in a wrap,with quorn chicken deli fillets and lettuce. It's nice but avocado doesn't agree with me and I feel sick every time I eat it. Which is a shame

ChakiraChakra · 07/01/2019 20:14

Crikey, you guys are quick off the mark in here! 😂 LOVE the sound of loads of these, thank you! ❤

Absolutely PMSL (and not at all offended) that the first page is full of bacon and chicken 😂😂😂

Blue cheese, spinach and cherry tomato with avocado is my favourite sandwhich filling ever. M&S did it about 15 years ago, but I have carried in ever since!!

RandomObject · 07/01/2019 20:18

Has to be halloumi!

nellieellie · 07/01/2019 20:18

I LOVE avocado with lemon/ lime juice and sun dried tomatoes in a sandwich. Simple and delicious.

Oakenbeach · 07/01/2019 20:23

Custard and marmalade.... mmmm

BuffysFavouriteStake · 07/01/2019 20:24

Cottage cheese
Any cheese
Sundried tomatoes
Roasted peppers
Rocket
Honey-mustard dressing (messy but soooo good, especially with lightly toasted bread....)
Any combo of the above!

am now sulking about my boring pizza

Bellatrix14 · 07/01/2019 20:25

Quorn chicken slices or quorn hot and spicy vegan burgers both go nicely with avocado. Or just slices of fresh tomato, pesto and a grind of black pepper!

wowfudge · 07/01/2019 20:27

You forgot the BACON there Oakenbeach Grin

I like it mashed with lime or lemon juice and some Tabasco.

SluggishSnail · 07/01/2019 20:27

Brie, tomato, avocado and rocket in a warm baguette is blissful!

MsRinky · 07/01/2019 20:28

Ha, loving Frazzles!

SheSnapsThenSheFarts · 07/01/2019 20:29

Hummus, rocket and sweet chilli sauce.

Doilooklikeatourist · 07/01/2019 20:30

Halloumi , Spinach and salsa verde
Philly
Tomatoes , coriander and lime juice

Smotheroffive · 07/01/2019 20:30

Going to be trying some of these, they sound deeelish.

Never really put it on bread before.
Like the toasted halloumi idea, and the blue cheese, cherry tomatoes and spinach.

Mmmm...on shopping list for next order!

Ohheyyy · 07/01/2019 20:30

Marmite

Gotstuckwiththisname · 07/01/2019 20:31

Just a shedload of salt and chilli is good. Especially on toast or a toasted bagel.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 07/01/2019 20:32

Halloumi
Sriracha
Watercress
Thinly-sliced Radishes
