Swaps, storage and make-ahead
Swaps
- Swap the jalapeño for a pinch of chili flakes or leave it out entirely for a milder, kid-friendly dip.
- Use red onion or a couple of sliced green onions instead of white onion for a gentler bite.
- Replace the cilantro with fresh parsley if cilantro tastes soapy to you.
- Serve with cucumber, bell pepper and jicama sticks instead of tortilla chips for a lighter, crunchy dipper.
Storage
Guacamole is best eaten fresh, but leftovers can be refrigerated within 2 hours with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface and eaten within 1 to 2 days; scrape off any browned top layer before serving. It does not freeze well once mixed with onion and tomato.
Make ahead
Dice the onion, chili, tomato and cilantro up to a day ahead and keep them covered in the fridge, then mash the avocados with lime and salt just before serving. You can also make the full dip a few hours early if you press plastic wrap onto the surface and keep it chilled.
