Notes

Meal Prep & Storage

  • To Prep-Ahead: Chop tomatoes, onions, and cilantro up to 1-2 days ahead of time.
  • To Store: Guacamole is best served immediately after making, but it can also be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24-48 hours. Be sure to completely cover with plastic wrap so no dip is exposed to air. This will keep it from turning brown.
  • To Freeze: I would not recommend freezing.  The taste, texture, and consistency will be largely affected.  You are better off just making it from scratch!
