FAQs
1. Can I use whole wheat bread instead of rye?
Absolutely! Whole wheat or any bread of your choice will work well.
2. How do I know when my avocado is ripe?
A ripe avocado will yield slightly to gentle pressure and may have a darker color.
3. Can I make the avocado mash ahead of time?
Yes, but keep it in an airtight container. To prevent browning, add a bit of extra lemon juice before sealing. 🍋
