Avocado Tools

Pama Margarita

Pama Margarita 
2.5oz Pama Pomegranate
1oz Cabo Wabo tequila
.5oz triple sec
Dash each lime juice & simple syrup

Shake & pour over ice. Great mix of flavors. Not too tart. Would try blended. 4:5 Sworded Olives. #SwordedOlives

And what goes with margaritas? Guacamole! Hence, our avocado theme. 
My favorite guacamole recipe is two avocados mixed with one packet of Simply Organic guacamole mix. Then refrigerate for 30 minutes. 
Avocado Corer/Slicer
After cutting your avocado in half the first thing you have to do is remove the pit. The left side of this tool scoops out your pit. A necessary gadget? No. Fun? Sure. The left side of the tool is the avocado slicer. The avocado has to be at the just right consistency for this to work effectively. It can't be too hard or too firm, but makes good slices for salad. 
Avocado Scooper
For guacamole I needed the entire avocado so I used this avocado scooper. The very end is tilted up just enough to slide in-between the skin and flesh to separate the two and pop out the flesh with very little lost, stuck to the skin. This also may seem like an unneeded gadget, but I have to say it works well and eliminates any struggle to get all of the avocado. 
Avocado Storage
Though I used two entire avocados for my guacamole I wanted to include all my avocado tools in one post. This is for avocado storage, when you only use one half. The top, dark green strap secures your half avocado in like a seat belt! You can see the dent just underneath the strap, this is for your pit. Keep the pit with the avocado half and it will not spoil as quickly.
