Notes
*To test that you are getting a perfectly ripe, green, and creamy avocado try these tips: Remove the stem from the top, if it's bright green typically that means your avocado is perfect and ready to accompany your dish. Gently squeeze the avocado, if it yields to the pressure then its ready, if it dents too much it's override, and if barely gives in it's unripe and will be ready in about 2 days.
