Tips:

1. When purchasing avocados, look for those that feel firm but that give to gentle pressure. And be forewarned: They can go from ripe to too ripe in a hurry.

2. Once exposed to air, avocados discolor quickly. Always cut avocados immediately before serving, or add lemon or lime juice to prevent their vibrant color from turning.
