Guacamole
Guacamole is a delicious Mexican spread that celebrates delicious avocados. They say that a good Guacamole must contain ripe, high-quality avocados, salt, and lime juice. Traditionally, we need to grind the chili paste in the pestle and mortar - that's what we did as well. By doing that, we add a beautiful spicy aroma to the dip. It is one of our all-time favorite homemade dips, and I bet you guys are going to love it too.

How to store and freeze Guacamole
Guacamole is prepared in just 5 minutes, so it's always better to make it from scratch whenever you crave it. However, feel free to store any leftovers. The best way to do that is by placing the Guacamole in a freezer bag and sealing it using a vacuum machine. By doing that, we will prevent the avocado from oxidizing and turning brown. Keep it chilled in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze it. Keep it in the freezer for up to 1 month.
