Guacamole

Let It Rest Cover and refrigerate for 15–30 minutes before serving. This gives the flavors time to blend. Tips * Use ripe avocados that yield slightly when gently squeezed. * Seed the tomato so the guacamole doesn’t become watery. * To keep leftovers greener longer, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface before refrigerating.
