Ingredients
Your favorite guacamole recipe (I really love this one!)
Instructions
Cut up some avocados and make your guac! I really really love this Pineapple Guacamole, but use your fave recipe. Make sure you use a good bit of citrus in your guac recipe. The acid from the citrus will help slow down the browning process.
When you’ve had your fill, put your guacamole in a bowl, preferably one with high sides. Take some plastic wrap and press it directly against your guacamole, flattening it straight across as you go along. Flatten the plastic wrap against the sides of the bowl, and wrap the excess plastic over the top edge. While you’re fitting the plastic wrap to your guac / bowl, be sure to remove as much air as possible. Air is the #1 enemy of browning avocados.
Place your guacamole in one of the coldest spots of your fridge. Then, when you’re ready to enjoy it again, remove your bowl, lift off the plastic wrap, and dive in. I like to fluff my guac with a fork / chip so that it looks less flat and sad. Totally optional, but recommended to give your guac that “first day look.”
