Peeling avocados doesn't need to be hard or messy. This simple method has worked for us for years. After cutting your avocado in half, make a twist with the two halves, and it will pop apart. Depending on the size of the avocado, I choose a serving spoon that is the size of one half of it. Slide the spoon along one side between the meat and the peel, from one side to the other. With one smooth movement you will have peeled half of your avocado.

Look for firm avocados if you're planning on using them later in the week, otherwise, select fruit that yields to gentle pressure for immediate use.
