Here are 4 tips to remember when making this party favourite.
- Start ripe - you need ripe avocado. When buying, always make sure that the 'button' or brown stem piece is still in the avo as this acts as a seal against letting air into it. Also when the bulbous end gives way to firm pressure, then it is ready to use.
- Go chunky - apart from being preferred to that of baby food, it looks like the real deal being home-made.
- Punch flavour - start with a good base and then add what takes your fancy ...
- Stay green - you cannot stop guacamole from turning brown but you can slow it down. Always add lemon or lime juice as soon as you have removed the flesh from its shell. Also keep it cold until the very end when serving.
