How to cut an Avocado

Cutting an Avocado

Cut Avocado

Cutting an avocado is really easy. It might look a bit intimidating but not to worry.


In the video below you will see how easy it is.


What you do is find yourself a nice ripe avocado and using a large knife (I find it easier with a larger knife) and cut all the way around the avocado, lengthwise.


After that, you twist the two sides in opposite direction and the avocado will come apart into two pieces.

Now tap the pit with the sharp side of the knife and twist and the pit will come right out.

From here it depends what you will make with the avocado.

If you are making Guacamole or part of a salad like my Tomato and Avocado Salad, then use a dinner knife with a round end and slice into half an inch cuts lengthwise, being careful not to cut through the skin.

Do the same crosswise. Scoop out with a spoon.

If you are going to slice them thin, then scoop out each half and slice to your liking.

Here is the video.
