Chef's notes
Guacamole tastes best enjoyed within a day or so of making it, but there is a better way to store leftovers to prevent discoloring
To Refrigerate:
you can whip up a batch of guacamole a day ahead. Air is the enemy of avocados and will cause it to brown. You can preserve your guacamole by placing plastic wrap directly over the surface of the guacamole, pushing out all extra air. Even if stored in closed Tupperware, putting plastic wrap directly over the guacamole first will keep it looking green and vibrant.
Freezing:
we do not recommend freezing since the veggies can get soggy and mealy when thawed.
