# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • This guacamole has the perfect balance of creaminess and texture that keeps everyone hovering by the snack table long after commercials end.
  • The lime juice does double duty brightening the flavors and keeping the mixture from turning that disappointing brown, so you can make it a bit ahead without stress.
02 -
  • The pit trick for preventing browning is mostly myth, but pressing plastic wrap directly against the surface truly works by preventing oxygen exposure.
  • Room temperature ingredients blend better than cold ones, so pull everything out about 30 minutes before you start mixing.
03 -
  • Save an avocado pit and press it into the center of your serving bowl of guacamole, then remove it just before guests arrive, leaving a perfect well for an extra splash of lime juice or olive oil.
  • If your avocados arent quite ripe enough, roast them in their skins at 300°F for about 10 minutes, then cool completely before using they become magically creamier.
