Instructions
- Note: If your avocados are very firm, use a sharp knife to chop them into small chunks before attempting to mash them with a fork. This will make them easier to mash.

Notes
How to Store Guacamole:
Store leftover guacamole in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. The best way to slow down the oxidation process is to lay a piece of plastic wrap right on top of the surface of the guacamole in addition to covering the container with a lid to avoid air pockets. Guacamole is best when eaten within the first 48 hours, but it can last several days longer in the refrigerator. You can also place one or two of the avocado pits inside of the guacamole to keep it fresher. You can freeze guacamole in ice cube trays in the freezer. Once frozen, you can pop out the frozen guacamole cubes from the trays and store them in a zip lock bag for up to 3 months.Nutrition
