Freezer guacamole lets you take charge of your avocados and make your favorite Mexican dip on your own terms and eat it in your own good time.

My recipe of the day is for freezer guacamole. This is an easy way to get your guacamole made when you have time and then have it at the ready without it oxidizing and turning brown by the time you put it on the table.
No more tricks needed of submerging it in oil, adding too much salt or lime, or drowning it under a layer of water. Can I just say it? Ew.

You know I have found tricks to managing to get the avocados to be green on the inside instead of black. Do you know what they are?
When choosing avocados, get the ones that have the stems still in them, and pull it out. If it is light colored beneath it is not rotting but if it is dark, put it down.
After that, you need to let the avocados sit out at room temperature for a day or two until the skin gives ever so slightly under pressure. Then refrigerate. You can hold the fruits at that stage of ripeness for a couple of days.
And this usually works out quite well for me, and I can make exactly what I want right on time.
But occasionally I still wouldn’t get around to it and my avos would go bad and pfft. I hate wasting food.
There is also the thought of wanting to be able to make a whole lot of guacamole when avos are on sale (as they will be this weekend) and somehow manage to have that for later. Well, you can!
If you use this classic recipe (which I love btw) and pack your guacamole into a ziploc bag, sealing out all the air, and pop it in the freezer, you are good to go. Just thaw the bags later for instant and perfectly green (not yucky brown) guacamole. Make it in whatever size bags you prefer.

I made this recipe earlier in the week and stored it in the freezer. I had no idea I could do that! I defrosted it this morning before going to work, and was able to enjoy bright, fresh, tasty guacamole with our appetizers tonight. It’s delicious and going into my Best of 2023 file. Thank you!
