Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Vegetables and Herbs

  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup chopped onions
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 finely chopped jalapeño (adjust to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Avocados: Slice the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork to your preferred consistency, whether chunky or smooth.
  2. Add Fresh Lime Juice and Salt: Pour in fresh lime juice and sprinkle salt over the mashed avocado. This adds zest, enhances flavor, and helps prevent browning.
  3. Mix in Vegetables: Add diced tomatoes, chopped onions, cilantro, and finely chopped jalapeño to the bowl. Stir gently to combine, keeping the mixture fresh and vibrant.
  4. Taste and Adjust: Sample the guacamole and adjust salt, lime, or spice levels to suit your preference. This ensures the flavor is perfectly balanced.

Notes

  • Choose ripe avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure for best creaminess.
  • Use fresh lime juice rather than bottled for optimal flavor.
  • Finely chop veggies to achieve balanced bites in every spoonful.
  • Keep the avocado pit in the container when storing leftovers to slow browning.
  • Mix guacamole gently to maintain pleasant texture and avoid mushiness.
