I didn't grow up eating guacamole. I don't think I discovered how delicious avocado is until after college. Guacamole is one of the simplest quick and easy dips to whip up. It wasn't long before I was hooked on fresh guacamole just like much of the universe and you will be too!
Guacamole is always a crowd-pleaser for a party appetizer. It's fast to whip up fresh as a dip with chips, and great to add to tacos, burritos, nachos, quesadillas or even to sandwiches, wraps and burgers.
You can also make this guacamole into a dip trio by adding this easy blender salsa and this delicious black bean and corn salsa with some chips!

Guacamole can be refrigerated for a day or two but doesn't last long. Guacamole is best when served fresh. This isn't a dish I typically will prep extra of because the leftovers don't last long and can turn brown quickly.
To store guacamole in the fridge place it in an air-tight container and try to remove any extra air you can. Squeezing a little extra lime juice over the top can sometimes help to keep the guacamole from turning brown.
You can also give your guacamole a good stir before you eat the leftovers. The outside tends to brown while the inside will still be bright green. This can help leftover guacamole look more appetizing. The brown oxidation that happens to guacamole won't hurt you but doesn't look super delicious.
Yes, you can freeze guacamole! Place the guacamole in a plastic freezer bag and squeeze out all the air then freeze. Sometimes the guacamole will brown some when you freeze it.
Extra lime juice can help, but usually, a good stir takes care of it as only the outside layer oxidizes and turns brown.
I recommend serving frozen but then defrosted guacamole on sandwiches or inside tacos or burritos. I don't recommend adding frozen guacamole to a party table as a dip because it tends to oxidize a little more and is more likely to turn brown.
Try freezing the guacamole in portions with your leftovers. Then you can just defrost what you need for a few sandwiches.
