Notes

Choose a ripe avocado for the white bean avocado dip for the best results.

Avocados' color can vary once they pass the medium-ripe stage, but the color is a great place to start. The darker the color, the more ripe the fruit. Unripe avocados will usually be bright green. So unless you don't want to use them for a few days, avoid them at the store and look for the ones changing to a purple hue.

Until they're fully ripe, avocados should be stored at room temperature. Placing an unripe avocado in the refrigerator will slow the ripening process. Still, the same concept applies to ripe avocados: put them in the refrigerator to keep them at their prime ripeness for longer.

Hard and green avocados take five to seven days to ripen, while hard, dark-green options can take anywhere from one to three days. If your avocado is already ripe but not ready to consume, store it in the refrigerator for up to two days to slow the ripening process.

Do not over-pulse or over-mash the ingredients. The texture should be creamy yet contain chunks.

The dip will last 3-4 days refrigerated. Because it contains lemon juice, it prolongs the color; however, it will turn brown after 3-4 days.
