Chefs Notes

*Make sure to use your senses while picking the perfect avocados for this recipe. The color on the outside tells you a lot about the ripeness. You are looking for a deep almost black color, the darker the more ripe. Pick up and gently use thumb to check flesh. Ripe avocados will indent without a lot of pressure. You want to avoid if they are overly mushy or soft.

**to keep from oxidizing place a piece of plastic wrap ON the guacamole surface allowing no air. And then place lid on container.
