Hi, today's Guardian has avocado recipes some of which are low-carb anyway and others that I reckon could be adapted.

Bacon and avocado always go well together, I still think it's hard to beat good old avocado vinaigrette as a starter. Either make your own vinaigrette or if you're feeling lazy there are some good low carb French dressings around (Waitroise Fresh & Fruity at 1.5g/100ml is good). Must try some of those though.

My local greengrocer often has the little ones at 4 for a pound so I grab a load when I can. My little boy lives them as well so I gave to wrestle him for them.

I make a salad with usual green stuff, then add tuna, chopped avocado, loads a different seeds, walnuts and a nice walnut oil dressing with cider vinegar or a squeeze of lemon.. Or with chicken and bacon and the same stuff as above. Lush.
