FAQ
-
Can I store leftovers?
Avocado tends to brown quickly. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container with a layer of plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface of the avocado to prevent oxidation. -
Can I add other ingredients?
Yes! Chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes, or a sprinkle of Everything Bagel seasoning would be delicious additions. -
What kind of crackers are best?
Any crackers you enjoy will work. Try whole-wheat crackers, rice crackers, or even bagel chips.
