Notes

Avocados: Make sure they are ripe and not too hard!
Storing: For best results, eat immediately, however if you are making this ahead of time, here’s how to keep it fresh and to try stop it from going brown: 
Either…
  1. Cover it with cling film, making sure it’s touching the entire surface of the avocado, or…
  2. Spread the guacamole out flat in a container, then very gently pour 1cm of water over the surface before putting the lid on and keeping in the fridge. The avocado won’t absorb the water so you can carefully pour it off when you want to use it.
