    This was easy and delicious! I have never tried grilling avocado, but it was great. (I used a firm avocado. I'm not sure a very ripe one would work as well?) - 2/4/15

    It's better with full fat cheese, and lower carb, too! It's yummy! - 6/27/14

    I've been doing this for years but without BBQ'ing the avocado. This is a nice twist to it.
    Great healthy snack - I use it for appetizers quite often in the summer or winter.

    I grill so many things, but never an avocado, what a different treat! I don't have an outdoor grill, so I used my stovetop grill instead and it came out great! - 5/26/14

    This is one of my favorite recipes. Grilled avocados have such an amazing flavor. The lightness of the salsa and cheese make it very refreshing. I have also stuffed them with fresh Dungeness crab dressed with Bolthouse Farms Cilantro Lime Yogurt dressing (40 cal/serving). - 5/25/17
