# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The contrast between cool creamy avocado and bright zesty tomato topping hits every craving at once
  • It comes together in twenty minutes but looks like you spent way more effort on it
  • Everyone reaches for this dip first, and the bowl empties embarrassingly fast
02 -
  • Avocados oxidize and turn brown quickly, so make this right before serving for the prettiest presentation
  • Pressing plastic wrap directly onto the guacamole surface helps if you need to make it thirty minutes ahead
  • The pico de gallo adds enough juice that you do not need extra liquid in the guacamole itself
03 -
  • Keep one of the avocado pits to press into the guacamole if storing leftovers, it helps prevent browning
  • Room temperature avocados mash more easily and blend better with the lime juice
