Ideas for Guacamole Garnishes

It’s perfectly fine to leave it as is and serve it with crunchy tortilla chips and fresh vegetable sticks. But if you’d like to make it look a little fancy, try sprinkling crumbled feta or Cotija cheese. Also, a dusting of crumbled bacon would be delish, if you have it on hand.

A handful of toasted pepitas (pumpkin seeds) sprinkled over top or, something unique could be a few tablespoons of crushed chili-lime flavored peanuts would also add another textural crunch. The options are endless really.

Variations for this Easy Guacamole Recipe

Taking this 4 ingredient guacamole recipe up a few notches is simple by adding a few other ingredients. Adding fresh cilantro gives it a really nice fresh element and a bit more of an authentic flavor.

Also, try kicking it up a tad by adding diced jalapenos, a few drops of hot sauce, or dried chili flakes, depending on your spice tolerance. If you like the flavor of Worcestershire sauce, that’s always a nice addition to making a quick and unique guacamole dip.

And if you don’t have salsa on hand, incorporating diced fresh tomatoes (remember to remove the seeds), and some finely diced red onion is the perfect replacement!

Storing Leftovers

Storing leftover guacamole dip is easy. Place it into the container you want to store it in and if you have it, squeeze a bit more lime juice over the top.

The lime juice will help keep the guacamole from turning a wonky brownish color. It’s still totally fine to eat it if does turn color, it’s just the oxygen oxidizing the avocado, making it turn a funky color. No big deal and it’s still delicious!

You can also freeze leftover guacamole in a freezer-friendly container, for up to 3 months! On thawing, it might look a bit unappealing, but give it a stir-up when it’s thawed and you’re back in business.

What Can I Do With Leftover Guacamole?

If the party is over and you have extra guac, there are a few super delicious things you might want to try so you don’t waste it.

• Use it as a spread on sandwiches. The richness of the guacamole and the tang from the salsa and lime really go a long way in enhancing almost any sandwich. Think BTG… Bacon, Tomato, and Guacamole toasted. YES PLEASE!
• Make guacamole toast. This is one of the best breakfasts to start your day with! Grab an egg or two and spread the guacamole on the bottom. Scramble the eggs and place them on top. Yum!
• Deviled Eggs: Hard boil a few eggs, then cool and peel. Mix a few of the yolks into guacamole and then fill the egg white. Top with a bit of paprika and you’re off to races!
• Salad Dressing: Thin it down a tad with a bit of avocado oil and vinegar and drizzle it over your favorite veggie salad. Wholy cow it’s delicious!
