Even the freshest guacamole wont stay that delicious, emerald shade for long once youve left it out and unprotected. Check out our tips below to learn how to keep guacamole from turning brown.
- Pat the guacamole down to give it a flat surface.
- Pour a thin but visible layer of water or lemon/lime juice over the guacamole to form a barrier with the air.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap, pushing the wrap, so it is flush with the guacamole to prevent air pockets, or put the guacamole in a sealed tub.
- Put it in the fridge.
- Remove the liquid, tasting your guacamole to be sure its still fresh, then enjoy!
DOES LEMON JUICE KEEP GUACAMOLE FROM TURNING BROWN?
Yes! The lemon forms a barrier between the outside air and the guacamole to make sure the dip stays its greenest. Seal it in a container or with plastic wrap and refrigerate it. Just remember to pour it off before you serve your guacamole. Otherwise, it will be a little tangy.
