How to pick a ripe avocado?

It yields to gentle pressure with green under the stem; no soft spots.

Use parsley, basil, or chives for a fresh twist.

Why does avocado brown?

Oxidation; add lime juice immediately and cover tightly.

Whole grain, sourdough, or multigrain for nutrition and sturdiness.

Add other vegetables?

Yes, pat dry tomatoes, cucumbers, or radishes to avoid sogginess.
