I am going through an avocado phase right now. They just taste so delicious. This stuffed avocado is something that you could eat with a salad, fish, or even just eat plain as a side dish.
They are incredibly easy to make, and come together in just minutes. They are full of flavor and pair nicely with just about anything.
They are also fairly inexpensive for a side dish. My kids love eating these, because they are so fun. They have the best texture, flavor, and I’m not complaining because they hardly take any time to throw together.
I even ate one for lunch the other day, and my kids love them as after school snacks. They are perfect for any occasion.
what dressing would be good with these?
These are so full of flavor and aren’t a dry food at all, that you necessarily don’t need a dressing. However, I do have a few recommendations, if you are looking for a flavor kick.
Here are a few sauces and glazes I recommend:
–Cilantro Lime Ranch: This is the best dressing in the entire world, I am not exaggerating. It has the best flavor and a little bit of sweet tanginess to it. You will love it with these Stuffed Avocados.
–Balsamic Glaze: This is an amazing combination as well. It is also extremely easy, because I always just buy mine at the store. I don’t have to make it, but just drizzle it on, straight from the bottle. It is delicious on these.
-Buffalo Sauce: This is always a request from my husband. He puts buffalo sauce on just about everything, but this is one thing that I actually agree with. The buffalo sauce is pretty tasty combined with these fresh ingredients.

Avocados are one of my favorite things. I can’t believe I hated them when I was little, I missed out on so many years! Guess I’ll have to eat as many as possible now to make up for it… This is a great way to do it!

Wow, I would use these as a main dish for lunch! Amazing! I’m heading to my neighbor’s avocado tree and snag a few!
I do have a question….. what’s the purpose of baking the avocados first? I understand the broiling to melt the cheese, but what does it do for the avocado to bake it first? Does it make it softer? Just wondering?
As always, thank you for posting the most amazing recipes!
Hi There!!!
You don’t have to cook it before hand… but the broil isn’t going to get it warm. I cook it before hand so that it is hot all the way through. 🙂 But if you like it cold, just broil! Thanks for your question!!!

Personally, I would use this recipe as the basis for a salad. Keep the “stuffing” ingredients the same, then cube the avocado and place it all on a bed of romaine + spinach + alfalfa sprouts. Very South Beach friendly!
