Here is a quick tip for easy avocado dicing.

Slice avocado in half, remove pit.

While still in the peel, use knife to cut through avocado, but don’t cut through the peel.

Go both directions, cutting into desired size chunks.

Use a spoon to scoop diced avocado out.

Hello there!

Hi there! My name is Leia. I love to eat. Good thing I also love to cook and bake. ;)
I think food can bring people together. I value family dinners and sharing good conversations over a slice of pie or some saucy nachos. Food makes people happy, and I want to help with that. Let's dig deeper →
