I will have to try this. <br /><br />My favorite thing to do with an avacado is cut one in half, take the seed out, squeeze lemon and/or lime juice into the indention of where the seed was, sprinkle some lemon pepper and pepper onto it, and take a spoon and enjoy! The spot where the seed was makes it easy to keep the juice contained and the avacado itself makes a great bowl! No need to slice onto a plate.
