Guacamole Timetable

[LoDega]

If I make a 7-layer dip tonight, will my green guac be brown yuck by lunchtime tomorrow?

This is the order that I use and I have never had brown guacamole. The secret as bitsubeats says is no air pockets. The guac must be totally sealed.
Refried beans
Guacamole
Sour cream mixed with 1 Tbl. taco seasoning
Grated cheese
Salsa
Green onions
Some people like black olives, I don't.

Thanks again!

I ended up making it flawlessly green, and it's great (although runnier than I'd like.) I'm going back for another plateful soon.

depends on if the guac is on the top or on the bottom of the 7 layer dip. If you put it on the top then yes it will turn brown, unless you squeeze some lime juice on it and add 2 layers of plastic wrap on it. I've done this many a time and it turns out well. One layer of plastic wrap should touch the guacamole (no air pockets), and one should cover the entire dish. But to be extra safe, you can always put the guac on the bottom

Awesomely fast reply, thank you. Since we're talking about layers... do you have a preferred order? I think guacamole on the bottom is a smart move to avoid discoloration, but what ends up on top?

[bitsubeats]

the cheese definitely. What goes in 7 layer dip exactly?

salsa,
beans
sourcream
cheese
guacamole

what else?
