Serve immediately. Ingredient Notes—When it comes to choosing a ripe avocado, look for avocado skin that is dark green to almost a black color, and for it to have a tiny bit of give when you press lightly with your thumb. Too much give and it’s likely they are bruised. If you choose the very green, still hard avocados, these aren’t ripe yet and you will want to put those in a paper bag along with an apple to speed along the ripening process for a few days. Interesting note: avocados—like bananas—don’t actually ripen on the tree, so you’ll never see a “tree-ripened” avocado. In order for an avocado to ripen properly, it must be picked when it’s mature.
