The best avocados for guacamole are the Haas avocados which are small and dark green, almost black. And if you want to make this in advance, go ahead. But after you make it, place the avocado pit on top of the guacamole, cover, and chill until ready to use. The pit will help reduce the darkening of the guacamole and help maintain its bright green color. Bet you didn't know that!
