Can You Make Guacamole Ahead of Time?
Yes! Make this homemade guacamole ahead of time. Although this simple guacamole recipe is best served fresh, you can make it beforehand. Refrigerate in an air tight container for up to 2 days, otherwise it will turn brown. Tighten the guacamole dish as tightly as possible with plastic wrap or lid.
You can make homemade guacamole a day ahead, and store it in an air tightened container until ready to enjoy.

Expert Tips:

- Add a Drizzle of Olive Oil – A little oil gives it a smooth, luxurious texture.
- Plastic Wrap Trick – Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface before refrigerating to prevent air exposure.
- Pair With the Right Chips – Sturdy, lightly salted tortilla chips work best to scoop up chunky guacamole.
- Use this guacamole to top burrito bowls for the perfect ready to eat topping.
- Make this homemade guacamole for taco night, and top with Pico de Gallo for the ideal topping.
