How long is guacamole good for?
Like potatoes, avocados start to oxidize and turn brown once they’ve been cut. The acid in the lime juice you add to guacamole helps slow it down. And if you store the guacamole properly, you can easily make it a few hours ahead if you are preparing for a party.
To keep the guacamole from turning an unpleasant looking shade of brown, it is necessary to keep it away from the air. Just cover the bowl with plastic wrap, press out any air and make sure that the surface has no contact with the air. Keep it cool.
It is best to make it and consume it on the same day as it is made. Next day it can become soggy and separate. If you have leftovers store guacamole in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one day.
