Notes

  • Make-Ahead: Prepare up to 4 hours in advance and keep refrigerated.
  • Storage: Store leftover guacamole in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed on top to prevent browning.
  • Refrigeration: Keeps fresh for up to 2 days in the fridge.
  • Freezing: Not recommended, as avocados change texture when frozen.
