Cut away the skin and chop into chunks and serve with dips on veggies trays for a quick, healthy snack. It does turn brown from oxidation when sliced, so cut when desired!  Avocado tastes great sprinkled with freshly squeezed lime juice and a touch of ground black pepper. Excellent in salads when paired with cilantro, citrus and red onion. Add salads or slice onto bread.

Avocados are an excellent source of monounsaturated fat and vitamin E,   and contain good fats, fiber, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and phytosterols.

Look for firm, dark green skin, firm tip. The skin often has a scarred or scabby appearance, but does not affect flavor. Darker skin colors signal ripeness. Once cut, wrap in plastic and do not refrigerate more than 1 day.
