Storage/Reheating

Guacamole is best served fresh, as it tends to brown over time. If you have leftovers, store the guacamole in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 days. To prevent browning, you can press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole, or cover it tightly with a lid.

Do not freeze the guacamole, as the texture will change once thawed.
