LibraryLover Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Who are you, and how can you half an avocado left? My kids can eat on on their own...lol You can squeeze lemon or lime juice all over it and wrap it in pastic or put it in a baggie. Or you can squash it up and make a little salsa/quac and nobody will even notice. Add a spalsh of citrus, and it won't go too brown. But I vote eat it. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if we have a half left I just put it in the fridge, with the stone still in it, it gets a very thin brown crust over the top, which protects the flesh underneath, so you can just slice off that crust with a sharp knife.

I'm eagerly watching this thread though, just in case, because I'd have to ask your question if we ever had a half left. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraGB Posted October 18, 2009 Author Share Posted October 18, 2009 LOL! Its a new item here, and I'm the only one who will eat it! I can only eat 1/2 of it all by my lonesome, so I need to save the other half. Actually, I'm working away from sour cream in favor of avocado, and its taken me a while, but I'm quite digging the little green guys. If I squeeze some lemon on it, will it change the flavor? Do I just store it in a plastic baggie, then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trixie Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 so it doesn't get all brown and icky?TIA Leave the pit in to keep the middle fresh and press plastic wrap against the rest of the exposed surface to prevent oxidation. The same works for guacamole. As long as you've got a tight seal right up against the stuff, it should stay pretty fresh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKS Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Leave the pit in and the skin on and put it in a plastic bag. Use it within a day (or at the most, two). If the brown bothers you you can scrape it off the outer surface. I should be good underneath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
