Tips and questions
How do I stop the avocado from going brown?
Mix it with the lemon juice as soon as you mash it and assemble just before eating; it browns within an hour.
How do I know if an avocado is ripe?
It gives slightly when pressed near the stem. If it is hard, leave it in a paper bag with a banana for a day or two.
