How long does homemade guacamole last?

Homemade guacamole doesn't have any preservatives in it like the store-bought kind. This means the top will most-likely brown after a day or so. The good news is, this doesn't impact the flavor. Just scrape off the top layer or mix it up and you'll be good-to-go for up to two days.

Can you scale this recipe?

Absolutely! Even if you only have one avocado on hand you can still make guacamole by adding about a teaspoon of chopped cilantro, a small squeeze of lime juice and a pinch of salt. Use the 1x, 2x, 3x buttons above the ingredients list in the recipe card to scale it for a big group.

What should I serve with guacamole?

So many things! I like keeping it simple with salty tortilla chips and a pineapple margarita , but you can also serve it on the side of these shrimp baja tacos , or portobello mushroom fajitas .
