COOKING NOTES:

If not eating right away, here are a few tips to prevent browning and make it last longer:

  • Place the avocado pit in the guacamole (yes, this slows browning!)
  • Squeeze lemon or lime juice over the top
  • Place plastic wrap on top of the surface of the guacamole (try not to let any air get to it) and put it in the fridge
