How should you select ripe avocados?
Having great guacamole begins with having very fresh ingredients. It would be best if you looked for avocados that are firm and ripe. You also do not need or want mushy and soft avocados.
How do you select good ripe avocados? It would be best if you held the avocado’s which has their stem attached. If their branch were removed in a store, it would have a lot of brown spots inside. You need to press on one side gently. Make sure it is firm but can easily break.

My thoughts on Ways to Make guacamole
Hey! There are some ingredients I would have preferred to be on this list that isn’t on the list of ingredients. The things I could have or would have liked to add to this recipe include curry, thyme, pepper, red bell pepper, sweet corn, and some ground chicken pieces. The thing is, if you or I mistakenly put these ingredients in your guacamole, it would not be guacamole anymore, so when wishing for something you want to add and things you should not count, be careful and follow the instructions strictly. For me and all the things I would like to put on my guacamole, I would have to completely use those extra ingredients for another recipe. Guacamole is a dip. You know, something that is used to eat a lot of other things. One should not use it or eat it alone. If you do that, you will end up in a hospital. Trust me. So just use this simple recipe.
