Notes

Storage instructions: To store guacamole in the fridge, transfer it to an airtight container and smooth the surface to remove air pockets. Press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the guacamole or add a thin layer of lime juice or water on top to prevent browning. Seal the container tightly and refrigerate. It should stay fresh for 1-2 days, and when you’re ready to use it, pour off any excess liquid and stir before serving.
