Ingredients

Directions

1. Avocados are easy to prepare when they are ripe. Here are some avocado tips:
2. How to Choose an Avocado: Look for firm fruit that has no blemishes. A healthy avocado should feel heavy for its size.
3. How to Store Avocados: Keep avocados at room temperature for a few days until ripened. When ripe, the skin will darken, and the fruit will give when you press gently. Refrigerate after ripened.
4. How to Cut Avocado: With a large knife, slice avocado in half, around (not through) the pit. If the avocado is very ripe, carefully, but sharply, hit the pit with a knife. Keep knife in the pit, twist the pit, and pull out. If the avocado is not fully ripened, remove the pit with a spoon. Use a spoon to scoop out avocado flesh.
