How to Pick Perfectly Ripe Avocados
First look at the color. Generally speaking, green avocados aren’t ripe. Look for dark green to black avocados. That’s where you start, but the true test is the press. If the avocado yields to gentle, firm pressure, you know it’s ripe. A ripe avocado should feel slightly soft, but not mushy.
How to Cut an Avocado
Using a sharp knife, cut down the center of the avocado, letting the blade slide along the pit down and around to the other side. Give it a twist while pulling to create two halves. Then, remove the seed and cut the two halves in half again. From there, simply use a spoon to remove the flesh from the skin. From there, place the avocado pieces flat side down and cut or dice to your desired size.
Recipe FAQ
When are avocados in season?
While avocados are available year-round, the best time of year to buy them for maximum flavor is January through March.
How do you keep avocados from turning brown?
Submerge your cut avocado in cold water for up to 4 hours to keep it from turning brown. You can also add lemon juice to a bowl of cut avocado and give it a toss.

Avocado dip is smooth and creamy like other dips. Guacamole is chunky and mashed, not pureed until smooth.
