Notes
If you want your guacamole to stay fresh longer, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole to prevent air from reaching it. This will help prevent it from turning brown quickly. Alternatively, you can leave the avocado pit in the guacamole; it doesn’t stop browning but can help slow it down.
