The Best Way to Cut an Avocado + 21 Recipes

You know those moments when you see someone doing something and it makes you cringe because you know there is a better way to do it and all you want to do is jump in and do it for them (and it doesn’t matter if they are a stranger)?

Yeah, that’s how I feel with avocados. More particularly the actual process of cutting an avocado.

I love avocados. So much. I literally could eat them every day and pretty soon here, I’ll be buying myself an avocado tree. It only makes sense!ย  I don’t really want to talk about how nutritious an avocado is or how the fat found in avocado is actually good for you but if you want to read a little more about that stuff, you can click on this link.

One thing I DO want to mention is that I read a few articles mentioning it’s best to get as close to the inner skin of the avocado because that’s where the nutrients congregate. What I am about to show you really is the best way to cut an avocado because it’s super easy to scoop the meat right next to the skin.

I almost wasn’t able to visually show you the best way to cut an avocado because as I was taking photos, I quickly realized I needed either A) a tripod B) an extra set of hands. Of course, I had neither. I had to really tap into my creative side and luckily I was able to come up with some sort of contraption. Check this out…

Pretty impressive, right? I thought so, too. I usually can’t come up with this kind of stuff but desperate needs called for desperate measures.

Anyway! I like making people’s lives easier so if you were unsure of the best way to cut an avocado then here’s an easy way that makes sense — and it still looks pretty.

Because everything deserves to look pretty, right?

Notes
*I used my small food processor to chop the walnuts in about 5 seconds!
