How To Dice an Avocado
In yesterday’s post that featured the Belgian Endive Salad With Avocado, I promised I’d show you guys a simple and easy trick to dice an avocado. So let’s get to it! I’ve made a visual and written version, so learners of all types can learn how to dice an avocado quickly!
How to Dice an Avocado
1. Slice. First, slice the avocado in half, rotating around the pit.
2. Twist. Grip and twist the avocado to separate.
3. Whack. Softly whack the pit with the blade of your knife, gently embedding the blade into the pit. Twist the handle of the knife to remove the pit. Flick the pit off of the blade by using your thumb or the side of a bowl.
4. Score. Next, make parallel cuts across one half of the avocado, making sure not to cut too deep into the skin. Rotate the fruit and cut into 1-inch pieces.
5. Scoop. Gently use a spoon to remove from the peel.
See? SO easy. What’s your favorite way to enjoy expertly diced avocado? —Karen
