Guacamole

In our house, Guacamole is made when the avocado is ready. If you bring home a bright green avocado, watch it closely and pounce when it is at its perfection! It will look dark green and be softer to the touch. To test the avocado, peel away the stem on the top and if green, the avocado is ready. If you buy avocados in bulk, put some in the fridge to slow down the process.
