I’m a cilantro addict. I ate the entire batch of this myself — kept dipping away at it. Not a wise move given the high fat content — but at least it was healthy fat!

YUM! This looks so delicious! I just recently fell in love with cilantro and well, I’ve always been obsessed with avocado! So this is the perfect combo for me…oooo and the cashew…absolutely killer!

Cheryl, but it's all GOOD fat. Your HDL will be fine.

Wayde, if we're both on avocado patrol we just might find something worthwhile. As to your oil question, I'm going to address it in a separate post. You're not the only one to be confused and I want to get all my facts straight before posting to the world.

Lisa, this oil is wonderful. If you find it, let me know what you think.

Sara, it was really good (providing you like cilantro) and I ate almost all of it myself. Got a tummy ache from it too. Serves me right!

Wow – I would never have thought of this. I’ll be I can find AO at Whole Foods or Trader Joes. I love the gem-like colors of everything!

You're on Christie! I've had a craving for my home made Guacamole from which I am sadly isolated. Perhaps I'll take up the quest once more.

That said:

About the oil. YOu mention EVOO smoke temp being 420. I might be under some some misconception but I never cook with the EV variety but look for regular Olive Oil to heat up (or a sesame/peanut oil combo for stir-fries).

But for just about everything else I use reg Olive Oil believing it to be more resistant to changing its properties (less saturated) when heated. Could I be under some misunderstanding?

Perhaps I should try AO. EVen if it imparts some taste it might actually be great for certain dishes.

YOWZA, that looks amazing! You’ve covered nearly all my favorite savory foods: avocados, parmesan, cilantro, lemon, CASHEWS! I feel my HDL cholesterol rising happily.

Wayde, I've no idea where to buy avocados anymore. I'm having the same issues and have given up. I suspect they're picked too soon and shipped under less than ideal conditions.

The oil is great. The fruit itself? Not so much.

Tell you what, if either of us finds good avocados, we'll let each other know.
