I think it would taste horrible, but then, I don't like avocado except in the form of guacamole. Yep, I live to be helpful.

My first thought is "ewwww". But I could be wrong.

Not sure. One of my favorite dishes at a restaurant I used to work with was grilled salmon with avocado salsa. That was wonderful - but primarily because the textures worked - the crisp/chewy grilled salmon with the soft/silky avocado, all set off by a tomato-lime citrusy tang in salsa. Very nice.

But since canned salmon wouldn't give you the crispness, I'm not sure I'd like it as much. I think maybe if you mixed salsa with the canned salmon and put it on bread or crackers with sliced avocado, that would be kind of nice. Maybe a piece of crisp lettuce too.

Given that it contains two foods I can't stand, I think it'd taste like something to be eaten only at gunpoint.

Maybe broil it? Then you get a little crispness to contrast with the softness of the salmon and avocado. (disclaimer: mashed avocado spread on toast, topped with crumbled walnuts, drizzled with olive oil, and broiled is one of my favorite snacks.)

Add some salsa, or at least some Tabasco or maybe lemon. toss a caper or two in also.

I would eat this.

Yummy! But I would likely slice rather than mash the avocado. Serve it on peasant or toasted bread with cracked pepper and, like Elsa says, drizzled with olive oil.

People in this AskMe thread are recommending avocado as a substitute for mayo in tuna salad. Sounds crazy to me, but maybe it works.

No bread, not much of anything, which is why I'm contemplating wacky food combos. I do have some sweet chili sauce, which in my mind goes with everything.

Or I'll just eat them separately, which is fine by me.

Oh, then what about putting them side by side in a dish: some flaked salmon and sliced avocado, topped with sweet chili sauce and a little salt and pepper? Then you can taste each element separately, mix some together, and have the best of both worlds.

Like a, um, deconstructed, um, something.

Right?

I read too much food writing, don't I?

THAT SOUNDS AWESOME! Maybe put on toast?

Salmon is gross in any form.

I found a tortilla and wrapped it all up in that. Threw on some chili sauce and some hot sauce. By the sounds of it, that would gross the majority of you out, but it was pretty tasty. I might even plan to eat it again one day.
