Avocado and Tuna Pasta Salad

A ripe avocado will yield to gentle pressure. Hass avocados (the variety with the thick, pebbly skin) also show their ripeness by changing color from green to purple-black. Green-skin varieties do not darken and only show their ripeness by getting soft. To speed the ripening process, place in a paper bag with an apple. Poke a few holes in the bag and store at room temperature. To remove the pit, slice avocado in half lengthwise, stick a fork into the pit and twist. Avocados discolor quickly, so rub lemon juice on surface or cut at the last moment.
