Storage: Leftover guacamole will keep for 3 to 4 days in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator.
Browning guac? To help prevent guacamole from browning, add a layer of plastic wrap pressed into the top of the guacamole. For another layer of protection, add about ½ inch of water on top of the plastic wrap. Pour water off, remove plastic wrap, and give guacamole a stir before enjoying.
