The Easiest Way to Perfectly Peel an Avocado

I don't know what's wrong with me, but all of a sudden I can't get enough avocados. I rocket down so many of the things that I think I've devised the easiest way to peel them, minimizing the mess and maximizing the mellow green deliciousness.

STEP 1: Get a 'Good' Avocado

I always go with Hass or Mission. Not only are they the perfect size for a single serving, they're always near ripe. (If it's green, it needs to ripen. If it's brown, WOLF IT DOWN!)

STEP 2: Cut it Lengthwise Right Down the Middle

I botched this up pretty bad and it's still perfectly fine. Don't worry, Martha Stewart isn't watching you.

STEP 3: Cut the Remaining Half in Half.

Some folks would call that 'quartering'. I don't because fractions confuse me.

STEP 4: Peel it With Your Fingers!

Look at the magic! There is virtually no avocado on the skin. No knife, no problem. Beautiful.

STEP 5: Inhale It!

Repeat the process with the other half.The pit will stick to the last remaining slice but it'll pop off pretty easy. I should have taken a picture of that but I ate it too fast. ENJOY!
