Unfortunately, avocado doesn’t freeze well, so it’s best to make only the amount you need for one serving. - How do I pick a ripe avocado? A ripe avocado should be slightly soft to the touch but not mushy. To check if it’s ready, gently squeeze the avocado in the palm of your hand. If it gives slightly, it’s ripe. - How long does guacamole last? Cover and refrigerate your guacamole for up to 3 days. And that’s it! I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do.
