How to Store

This bowl is best enjoyed fresh as the avocado will start browning over time due to oxidation, but with these steps, you can enjoy it a little longer! Here’s what I recommend:

Refrigerate: Place leftovers in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator. They should last up to 2 days. If you’re planning to make this ahead of time, it’s best to store the ingredients separately and combine them when you’re ready to eat. How to prevent browning: Since this bowl includes avocado, you can squeeze a little fresh lemon juice or lime juice over it to help prevent the avocado from browning. Also, keeping the mixture in an airtight container with a piece of plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface of the avocado can help reduce exposure to air and slow down the oxidation process.
