It’s best eaten fresh, but you can store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day. To prevent browning, cover the surface with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the spread.

Can I make it spicier?

Definitely! Add extra chili flakes or even a slice of fresh jalapeño while mashing for more heat.

What’s the best bread to serve it on?

Sourdough, rye, or multigrain bread works beautifully. The nutty flavors in the bread complement the creamy avocado and peppery greens.
