The Best Guacamole

The best guacamole is easy-peasy to prepare and the perfect mix of avocado, lime and cilantro. Give it a try and tell me what you think!

How to store it

Probably the only downside to fresh guac, if it's even possible to suggest there is a downside, is how to store leftovers. Avocados tend to turn brown shortly after you peel them, and even adding plenty of fresh lime juice tends to just slow the eventual browning But there is hope! To save or serve later, dash a few squeezes of lime juice of the top of the prepared guacamole and place plastic wrap directly on top of the surface then refrigerate. The plastic wrap will keep it picture perfect (no browning) and totally fresh. It will store beautifully for several days.
