How do you choose an avocado?

If you are planning to use an avocado immediately, select one that is ripe. You can tell if an avocado is ripe by gently squeezing it. If it has a slight give to it, then it's ripe. If you don't need it for a few days, you can select one that is more hard and store it on the counter until it's the perfect ripeness.

What is the best way to mash an avocado?

The best way to mash an avocado is to remove the flesh from the skin, place in a bowl, and mash with a fork. You can mash to desired consistency, whether you like it smooth or chunky.
