Hass avocados should be mature but not overripe. Choose avocados that yield slightly when gently squeezed rather than stringy or gelatinous ones. Cut them open and discard any wounded or brown parts before mashing.
Mash your avocado separately
Compared to guacamole, mashed avocado is creamier and richer. Do not mash on toast. Cavities or toast may break. Half and remove the seed, then fork-scoop avocado flesh into a bowl or plate. Mash meat. Many avocados massaged? A pastry cutter or potato masher can replace a small utensil.
Don’t forget the Salt
There needs to be at least one sprinkle of salt on each half of an avocado. Do you want extra points? Add a little granular sea salt to the avocado toast to finish it off.
