Storing cut Avocado?

[cjcouple]

If I use half an avocado in my salad - whats the best way to save the other half for tomorrow?
I googled and saw some ideas but wasnt sure I trusted them.
One said place a cut onion in a bag with it, another said dunk in water a third said just place in air tight bag (which I have tried but it still browns)

Perhaps there is no way to successfully save wothout browning? 
Thought I would ask

I leave the pit in one side and wrap tightly with press'n seal wrap.

Keep the pit in the other half and store in an air tight baggie. Lime juice can also help with it not turning brown as quickly.

leaving the pit in and rubbing the exposed area with lime, then wrapping airtight.

Leave the pit in, squeeze a little bit of lemon juice over it and I put it in an air tight tupperware container.

I rub it with citrus and cover in plastic. I usually slice off a thin layer the next day.

But usually I use it as an excuse to eat the whole avocado.

I think it is going to brown a little, no matter what you do. 

What seems to help most is to leave the pit in the cut side (use the other half first), squeeze a little lemon or lime juice and put a layer of plastic wrap over the flesh, so as little air as possible hits it. Then store in a plastic bag. 
I still get a little browning, but it's just around the edges, usually. I either just eat it, or cut off the bad spots and feed them to my dog.

Another pit in, lime juice, saran wrapper checking in! It browns a bit still, but I just skim a thin layer off the top before eating.

It's fine brown!

I know, it's just not the most appetizing :-)

I leave the pit in and cover tightly with aluminum foil. That helps the most for me.

I also squeeze some lemon or lime juice on it and put in a sealed container.

I have this avocado saver and it works really well.

LOL, I think this topic is our unity horse! Everyone is aggrement!!

I spray the exposed part with olive oil. Basically, anything that provides a barrier to air.

Leave the pit in the unused side and cover the cut surface tightly with press n' seal wrap.

I leave the pit in the unused side and seal it in Tupperware. It does get a little brown on top but it doesn't bother me.

If you have a vacuum sealer, you can vacuum pack it.

[rageragerage]

So you should leave the pit in?

Leave the pit in - I use this stuff called Cover Blubber that is like reusable press and seal. Avocados seem to love it, but it's also great for covering half a melon, etc. I have an avocado half that is over a week old right now and still perfect. I got mine on amazon, as I do all things - the green one is a perfect avocado size. www.amazon.com/Fusionbrands-CoverBlubber-Reusable-Stretchable-Cover/dp/B00G4JLZE6

I do the same. It still browns a tiny bit, so I just lightly scrape the top with a knife after I remove the pit. I know the brown spots are fine to eat, it just grosses me out.

WHY ARE SO MANY PEOPLE LEAVING A HALF OF AVOCADO UNEATEN??!!
