Notes

- Storage Tips
- Guacamole is always best enjoyed freshly made, but in case you have any leftover, there are a few methods you can use to save it and try to prevent it from turning brown.
- To store: Place any leftover guacamole in an airtight container.
- Press it down firmly with the back of a spoon to make sure there are no air pockets.
- Option 1: Return the pit of the avocado to the airtight container that you've pressed down to remove air pockets, cover with plastic wrap, making sure to press the plastic wrap firmly onto the guacamole to keep as much air out. Then, cover the with an airtight lid and refrigerate for up to 1-2 days until ready to serve.
- Option 2: After pressing the down with the spoon to remove any air, cover the guacamole with a 1/2 inch of cool water, making sure the water covers the entire surface all the way to the edges. The water keeps oxygen from reaching the guac, thereby halting any oxidation. Then, seal with the lid of the container. Store in the refrigerator for 1-2 days.
- *You can also use lemon or lime juice to cover the entire surface of the guacamole and follow the same steps in covering it as you did with the water, making sure it covers to the edges too. Then pour off the citrus juice and mix well when ready to eat within 1-2 days. Just know it could have a bit more zesty citrus taste using this storage method.
- To use: Pour off the water (or citrus juice) topping the guacamole, stir well, and enjoy.
