    We love this in our house. Even my hubby who doesn't like avocado. I usually cilantro and lime, but the original basil and lemon is good too!

    This was awesome. I used cilantro instead of basil, and I added one clove of garlic. I also used it with quinoa instead of rice to make it healthy. It was creamy and perfect...could be used as a dip, sauce, or spread!

    This is an AMAZING spin on rice. I substituted cilantro for the basil, and it turned out beautifully.

    Used my left over brussels sprouts from Thanksgiving and mixed in with all the other greens, without the avocado. It was great. I loved it as posted too.

    I read the reviews and watched Claire make it as well and I loved it and my husband too!! He preferred it with a little less basil, so I made two batches as I had two ripe and creamy avocados. It was so creamy and when combined with the warm rice it was delicious. I feel bad for the people who tried it and didn't like it, not sure what went wrong. I used the concentrate basil from a tube so maybe that could help the others.

    I loved the thought of avocado with rice. I don't know what went wrong but it was terrible. I kept taking bites thinking it couldn't really be that bad, but sadly it was bad. Maybe it was too much lemon or too much basil. Thanks

    we loved this!! i saw it on tv and had to try it! i used a little less then 1/4 cup of olive oil and the juice of half a lemon and a good handful of fresh basil! i also used just one avoccado, little bit of water and salt and pepper to taste. just threw all ingredients in my magic bullet and it couldnt have been easier! i couldnt stop eating it! my husband calls it guacamole rice:

    I had cilantro lying around the house, so I substituted it for the basil, and it was pretty good! I think next time I may use lime instead of lemon, but this is a great basic recipe for a quick dinner. Make sure your avocado is very ripe, it makes all the difference!

    When I saw this, I knew I had to make it as it contains some of my favorite ingredients. I figured that it could not go wrong. As much as I tried to like it...I hated it. While I liked the concept, the outcome was not good. I tried to add a little more salt and pepper thinking that it would fix the taste, but that did not work. I even added a little butter to the rice at the end thinking it would give it a better taste...that did not work either. The taste is just not good. It was not appealing at all and kind of made me cringe when I ate it. I don't know if it is the basil, the lemon, the avocado...or the combination. I am soooo tempted to throw it away, but feel awful about wasting the food. I would feel ashamed to serve this to my family. Too bad, because it comes out looking really pretty.
