This is my absolute favorite. Leave the avocado half uncut, but scoop it out of its skin with a big spoon. The skin gets thrown away, and you’re left with a perfect green dome.
Now, put that dome on a plate, cut-side down. It creates its own tiny seal against the plate. No air, no browning. It’s almost too simple.
You can store it in the fridge like this for a day or two. When you want it, just slice it up. The bottom might get a tiny brown spot, but the rest is perfect. It’s like a magic trick.
The Water Bath (Proceed with Caution)
You’ve seen the videos: people submerge their leftover avocado in a bowl of water. It sounds brilliant, and sometimes it works. But beware—if the avocado isn’t completely submerged, mold can grow.
Also? It can get soggy. Nobody wants a waterlogged avocado. That’s the texture of sadness. I say skip this unless you’re in a bind.

If you try it, use a smaller container so the avocado is mostly under water. Pat it dry before you eat it. Your taste buds will thank you.
