Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2–3 Ripe Avocados
  • 1–2 tablespoons Fresh Lime Juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 cup Diced Red Onion
  • 2 tablespoons Chopped Cilantro
  • 1 Jalapeño or Serrano Pepper, finely chopped (optional but recommended)
  • 1 clove Minced Garlic
  • 1/4 cup Diced Tomatoes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Avocados: Slice ripe avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl. Mash gently with a fork or potato masher, leaving some chunks for texture.
  2. Add Lime and Salt: Squeeze fresh lime juice directly into the mashed avocado and sprinkle with salt. This brightens the flavor and slows browning.
  3. Mix in Fresh Veggies and Herbs: Finely chop red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and tomatoes, then fold them into the avocado mixture gently to combine without over-mashing.
  4. Adjust Seasonings and Taste: Taste your guacamole. Add more salt, lime juice, or jalapeño as desired to achieve your preferred flavor balance.
  5. Serve Immediately or Chill: For the creamiest and freshest guacamole, serve right away. If needed, cover tightly with plastic wrap pressed onto the surface and refrigerate for up to two hours before serving.

Notes

  • Choose ripe avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure but are not mushy.
  • Use fresh lime juice instead of bottled for best flavor and acidity.
  • Do not over-mash; keep some chunks for texture.
  • Press plastic wrap directly onto the guacamole surface to prevent browning during storage.
  • Customize the spice, salt, and lime gradually to suit your taste.
  • Guacamole is naturally vegan and gluten-free.
