Common Questions About Creamy Guacamole Recipe
How Do I Keep Guacamole from Turning Brown?
The best way to keep guacamole green is to add lime juice and ensure it’s covered with a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface or stored in an airtight container. Lime juice not only adds flavor but also acts as a natural preservative.
Can I Use Lemon Instead of Lime?
Yes, lemon can be a great substitute for lime, offering a slightly different but equally refreshing acidity to your guacamole.
Is Guacamole Healthy?
Thanks to the avocados, guacamole is rich in healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals. Incorporating it into your diet can offer health benefits, especially when enjoyed with wholesome ingredients.
Storage
If you’re a fan of spicy guacamole, I’ve got some options for you down below.
Refrigerator
Keep creamy guacamole fresh in the fridge for up to 3 days. Make sure it’s in an airtight container or covered tightly with plastic wrap to minimize air exposure.
Freezer
Freezing guacamole can change its texture, so it’s best enjoyed fresh. However, if you must freeze it, be prepared for a slightly different consistency upon thawing.
