First make sure that your avocados are ready to eat. Consuming an overripe or underripe avocado will be disappointing if not downright uncomfortable.
3
Remove the hard cap at the stem if present. It may have already fallen out.
4
Line up your knife, bisecting the recess where the stem cap may have been, so as to separate the avocado into 2 symmetrical halves. Slice through the stem end, straight down until the knife is gently embedded in the seed.
5
Moving the avocado and not the knife, roll the avocado over the blade, following the seed, until the slice comes back to its beginning. Rolling the avocado like this will help you slice a precise plane around the flesh.
6
Twist the halves gently in opposite directions to release the flesh from the seed. The pit should still be stuck to one half of the avocado. If you only plan to use one half, leave the seed in the opposite half to keep it from browning as quickly. Otherwise, sink your knife into the seed and gently rotate the blade to twist the seed away from the flesh.
7
Carefully dice the avocado while it's still in it's skin. Slice 2 or 3 times lengthwise and 3 or 4 times perpendicular to that.
8
With a large spoon, scoop the flesh from the skin.
