Re: Best way to save 1/2 of an avocado?

I leave the pit in... I rub fresh lemon juice on it... and use saran wrap tightly around it.

I am amazed that so many have leftover avocado! I gobble that sucker up, dh is lucky he gets a few slivers. Lol

Leave the pit in and the skin on. Then put it in a sealed plastic bag or in plastic wrap. It will stay pretty goo for a few days. Lemon juice on cut end can't hurt.

leave the pit in/skin on, brush the exposed area with a little lime or lemon juice, and put it into a lock and lock container. works for me!

I mash my avocado with minced onion, salt, garlic powder. I spread it on everything from my breakfast scrambled eggs (yum) to chicken (yum). The spread lasts in the fridge for at least 3 days just in a bowl covered with tinfoil.

Agree Chickenbutt!

Thank you ALL for the replies and suggestions. I've never tried the onion trick. I will try it and report back!

I don't have a vacuum sealer, but I've always wanted one. ${#emotions_dlg.wub}$

I always leave the pit in, too, but by lunch the next day it is still brown and really not appetizing looking. I used to buy avocados more often, but now I have to really think about. My DH loves them, too, but my kids won't eat them. Also, my DH likes them in or ON things, and while I love that, too, I also just love a 1/2 avocado sprinkled with kosher salt and a spoon. ${#emotions_dlg.thumbup1}$

Lemon juice on the flesh and wrapping it so that no air touches the flesh will keep it green. Even if the color changes, it's still edible. It hasn't spoiled, it's just changed color.
