Dicing an avocado, it's the perfect technique

when making guacamole, smoothies or salads.

Here's how to do it, the first step is to halve the avocado.

I'm gonna cut around the avocado lengthwise,

until your blade meets that first cut.

Then you want to twist the halves, open it up.

I'm gonna take the blade of the knife,

twist the seed to remove it.

I'm gonna make a crosshatch pattern,

lengthwise, and then widthwise,

spaced about three quarters of an inch apart.

Same for the other half, and then working over a bowl,

take a large spoon, scoop out the flesh.

As close to the peel as possible.

So there you have it, diced avocado.
