CALIFORNIA GUACAMOLE DIP
A classic! To keep your guacamole from turning brown, Chef John Nordin from Tom Leonard’s in Farmingdale, N.Y. suggests covering it tightly with plastic wrap. A squirt of freshly squeezed lemon juice and keeping the avocado pit in the guacamole will also help keep your guac green.
