  • 6 add a couple splashes of cayenne sauce if you want a little heat.
  • 7 the avocado will break up a little and blend with the lime juice to make a dressing for the veggies.

  • 10 avocados can be ripened in a paper bag.
  • 11 tomatoes can be left on the counter to try to get them good and red. never put them in the fridge.
