Pro Tips

  • ✓Choose avocados that give slightly when pressed — not too hard, not mushy.
  • ✓Using Greek yogurt instead of mayo cuts fat while adding extra protein.
  • ✓Squeeze lemon juice over cut avocados immediately to prevent browning.
  • ✓For a spicy version, add a few dashes of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne.
