Keep Guacamole Fresh

I like to make guacamole ahead of time for my favorite chicken quesadillas. I’ve found that if the avocado pit is added to the guacamole and the dish is covered, the guacamole retains its pretty, green color. —Pam Ubl, Coon Rapids, Minnesota

I have made this many times and always get good reviews. While the texture is different than traditional guacamole the taste is superb. I generally use one small avacado instead of just 2 Tbsp but othrwise follow the recipe to a T. Great lower fat alternative!
