Tips for the Best Guacamole
- Use large avocados for the best yield. If using small ones, add an extra avocado.
- Fresh lime juice is key! Avoid bottled juice for the freshest taste.
- To keep guacamole green longer, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface before storing in an airtight container.
How do I keep my guacamole from turning brown?
Lime juice is your best friend here! The acidity slows oxidation, keeping your guac green longer. For extra protection, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface before storing it in the fridge.
How do I know if my avocados are ripe?
Give them a gentle squeeze—ripe avocados should have a little give but not feel mushy. If the skin is super dark and the avocado is very soft, it’s probably overripe.
Can I make guacamole ahead of time?
Yes! Just be sure to cover it tightly with plastic wrap (press it against the surface) or store it in an airtight container. A thin layer of lime juice on top also helps keep it fresh.
Can I add other ingredients to my guacamole?
Of course! Traditional guac is amazing, but feel free to get creative—try adding diced mango, roasted corn, or even crumbled queso fresco for extra flavor.
What can I serve with guacamole besides tortilla chips?
Guac isn’t just for chips! Use it as a spread for sandwiches, a topping for tacos, a dip for veggies, or even as a side for grilled meats. So many options, so little time!
Now grab those avocados and get mashing!
