FAQ

How do I pick a ripe avocado?

Look for a dark skin color and apply gentle pressure. It should yield slightly without feeling mushy.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Avocado oxidizes quickly. It is best prepared fresh, but you can mash the avocado with extra lemon juice to delay browning for a short time.

What adds protein to this dish?

Hemp hearts are excellent plant-based protein sources. You can also top with a poached egg for an extra boost.
