This recipe will keep in the refrigerator for a day, but press a piece of plastic wrap across the top of the mixture to seal out all air, or the avocado will brown and turn the mixture into an unappetizing brown color!
We used this pastry cutter in this recipe, it's a great way to chop the eggs while still keeping them in larger chunks.
