DON’T USE OVERLY RIPE AVOCADOS
Soft avocados are great for guacamole but not for avocado roses. The avocado just doesn’t slice as cleanly when it’s too ripe, and you’ll end up with a mushy mess when you try to curl the avocado slices into a rose. I learned that the hard way. Be sure to pick a ripe avocado that’s still firm.
SQUEEZE LEMON OR LIME JUICE OVER AVOCADO
You may notice that some avocados start developing black spots soon after you cut into them. To slow down that process, sprinkle lemon juice on them.
