Guacamole Ingredients
- 3 large ripe avocados
- 1/2 cup diced red onion
- 1/2 cup diced tomato
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 small jalapeño pepper, finely diced with seeds removed
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Mash the Avocados: Add the ripe avocados to a large bowl. Using a potato masher or a large fork, mash the avocados until they reach a nearly smooth consistency, leaving a little texture for creaminess.
- Add Fresh Ingredients: To the mashed avocados, add the diced red onion, diced tomato, chopped cilantro, finely diced jalapeño (with seeds removed for mild heat), minced garlic, lime juice, salt, and black pepper.
- Combine and Serve: Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until evenly combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately as a dip or accompaniment to your favorite dishes.
Notes
- Choose ripe avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure for the best creamy texture.
- Removing jalapeño seeds reduces heat; keep them for a spicier guacamole.
- Use freshly squeezed lime juice for bright flavor and to prevent browning.
- This guacamole is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed directly on the surface to minimize oxidation for up to 1 day.
- Feel free to customize by adding diced onion types, roasted corn, or a dash of cumin for variety.
