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.
