How To Pick Perfectly Ripe Avocados

And if it's too ripe, you've missed your chance.
These precious little Alligator Pears will be absolutely perfect one day and the next they are on their way out. It's just the way it is.
Check for ripeness by gently pressing the outside of the avocado. If there is no give, the avocado is not ripe yet. If there is a little give, the avocado is ripe. If there is a lot of give, the avocado may be too ripe and not good. In this case, taste test first before using.
Serve with Baked Corn Tortilla Chips. Use as a spread instead of mayonnaise or other condiments. The uses for guacamole are endless. Enjoy!
