Tips
- A ripe avocado is ready when it rebounds slightly after being pressed.
- Move the avocado, not the knife, when cutting.
- Smoother limes will have more juice than wrinkly ones. Rolling a lime before cutting can also yield more juice.
- Remove the insides of tomatoes to avoid watery guacamole.
- Adjust seasoning for flavor.
