Stop, Guac and Roll
How to keep your guacamole from turning brown
There's a trick to keeping it green:
Pour a shallow layer of water on top of your guacamole to prevent it from browning.
It may sound strange, but this method is the best way to keep the top of the dip as presentable and inviting as it should be.
Sure, you can squeeze lime or lemon juice into the guacamole, and you should anyway for taste. But this doesn't work as well as the water trick for preventing discoloration. You can also stick an avocado pit into the middle of the bowl, though this does nothing for the top. Plastic wrap is another option, but not only will you lose some precious avocado that way, it simply doesn't work as well as water.
Try it out, and you'll never look back. Pack the guacamole into a bowl or Tupperware container, cover with about half an inch of lukewarm water and affix a lid. When you're ready to devour the stuff in a few hours, or even in a couple days, gently pour off the water and give the guacamole a good stir. No one will ever know you prepared it ahead of time.
