    NOTES If you are new to choosing ripe avocados pick up a few extra ones. Sometimes when you open an avocado you may find that it is slightly overripe and that it is necessary to cut the dark blemished areas off and discard them. Peel, seed, and chop your avocadoes after you have the other ingredients in the bowl of your food processor. This will help prevent premature browning of the avocado flesh. If you like things with a little more heat leave the veins and seeds in the jalapeno. It takes several minutes to blend this dip smooth in the food processor. Don’t give up hope! This dip is best served shortly after it is prepared. Avocados turn brown when they react to the oxygen in the air. Lime or lemon juice slows this down drastically but err on the side of caution and serve fairly promptly. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
