Even before the Favorite March Ingredient poll ended the leading contender was the Avocado. I should have known. Who doesn't love avocado!? Guacamole has to be the ultimate dip for a chip in the world. Here are some tips for the perfectly ripe avocado.
- Place 2-3 avocados in a brown paper bag and store at room temperature. If you don't have paper bags on hand, wrapping them in newspaper will also do.
- For even quicker ripening, add an apple or a tomato to the bag.
- Check daily to see if avocados are ripe yet. Don't just judge by their color, as some varieties will retain their green color, even when ripe, rather than turning a deep greenish brown.
- Ripe avocados will peel easily and are soft, yet still firm and not squishy.
- Extra Tip: If your avocados are ripening before you have a chance to eat them, place them in the crisper of your refrigerator, as this will help them keep a bit longer once they are ripe.
