Chef’s Notes
Avocado turns brown relatively quickly. To prevent this from happening I coat the avocado with light lemon juice after cutting, as this will prevent it from turning. If I am doing a small batch of guacamole there is no need for this because I go through the recipe so fast it would not make a difference.
After preparing this guacamole recipe I wrap it and place it in the refrigerator. Limiting contact with oxygen is the secret to make this fresh guacamole keep its vibrant green color, that is so great for presentation.
