How to pick the best avocados

How can you tell if the avocado in your hand is ripe when you’re at the grocery store?

There are a couple of ways to do this without guessing.

Stem: If the stem of the avocado comes off easily, that is a good indication that it’s ripe.

Now, check the color under the stem. This will tell you whether it’s perfectly ripe or too ripe to eat. If the color under the stem is green, it’s perfect, and if it’s brown, it’s too ripe.

Color: Unripe avocados are picked off trees when they are bright green. You can tell when they are ready to eat right after they lose any green speckles and are entirely brown and slightly soft under your fingertips.

If they are black or you notice any really soft spots, they are overripe and will likely have black spots on the inside. This is an excellent way to know if an avocado is bad.

Storage information

Storing avocados:

Store avocados separately from the bread. Try to only cut open as many avocados as you’re going to use right away. When they’re exposed to air, they turn brown quickly.

You can keep whole, uncut avocados in a cool, dry place until they’re ripe.

If you have cut or mashed avocado, cover it with plastic wrap in an airtight container and place it in the fridge for up to three days.

Add a squeeze of lemon or lime juice to help prevent the avocado from turning brown as well.

 

Storing keto bread:

If you plan on using your bread within a week, you can keep it on the counter at room temperature as long as it is shelf stable. Some keto breads (especially the gluten-free, dairy free keto breads) don’t contain preservatives and can only be stored at room temperature for a few days before they start to mold.

Keep the loaf in the refrigerator if you will eat it within two weeks.

  1. This was my first time trying smoked salmon with avocado and I was honestly surprised how well it paired with the creamy texture. The seasoning added just the right kick and the bread toasted perfectly in the air fryer. Definitely going to be a new favorite of mine.

  2. Toasting the keto bread in the air fryer made it super crispy which was the perfect contrast to the creamy smashed avocado. The everything bagel seasoning added a bold savory crunch that tied everything together beautifully. I also loved how the capers gave little bursts of briny flavor with the smoked salmon.

  3. I missed avocado toast since going keto and this recipe really hit the spot. The smoked salmon was a great touch.

  4. I followed the recipe exactly and was really impressed by how well the everything bagel seasoning elevated the flavor of the smashed avocado. The seasoning added a garlicky crunch that paired nicely with the creamy texture of the avocado. I used the toaster for the keto bread, and it crisped up perfectly without becoming too dry. The smoked salmon was a great savory addition, but I actually think the capers brought a surprising brightness that cut through the richness. This made for a very satisfying and flavorful low carb lunch. I’m giving it four stars because while delicious, I would have loved a suggestion for a citrus element like lemon juice to enhance the avocado even more.

  5. This helped curb my bread cravings big time. I used a dense almond flour bread and the avocado with bagel seasoning really hit the spot. Definitely going to try it with salmon next time.

  6. I have been missing avocado toast since starting keto. I have now been following this WOE for almost 2 years. This recipe is a hit mostly because it fills a gap by eating Keto.
