Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 ripe avocados (slightly soft to the touch)
  • Juice of 1 fresh lime
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons finely diced red onion
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1/4 cup diced tomatoes

Optional Variations

  • Finely chopped jalapeño or pinch of cayenne pepper (for spicy kick)
  • Small chunks of mango (for sweetness)
  • 1 tablespoon vegan sour cream or coconut yogurt (for extra creaminess)
  • Extra garlic or roasted garlic (for garlic lovers)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Avocados: Halve the avocados, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Use a fork or potato masher to gently mash the avocados until creamy but still a bit chunky for texture. Adjust smoothness to your preference.
  2. Add Fresh Lime Juice: Squeeze the juice of one fresh lime over the mashed avocado immediately to add brightness and prevent browning.
  3. Mix in Vegetables and Herbs: Fold in finely diced red onion, chopped cilantro, and minced garlic to introduce freshness, crunch, and a savory aroma.
  4. Season Thoughtfully: Sprinkle in salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. If using, gently fold in diced tomatoes for added color and juiciness.
  5. Taste and Adjust: Give your guacamole a final taste test, adjusting with more lime juice, salt, or pepper as desired to perfect the flavor.

Notes

  • Use Hass avocados that are slightly soft but not mushy for the best creaminess.
  • Prepare and mix ingredients quickly to preserve vibrant green color.
  • Chop onions and cilantro just before mixing to keep freshness intact.
  • Always use fresh lime juice instead of bottled for optimal flavor and color.
  • Do not over-mash the avocado; leaving some texture enhances the eating experience.
  • Store guacamole with plastic wrap pressed on the surface to minimize browning.
  • Consume leftovers within 1-2 days for best freshness.
  • Guacamole is best served cold or at room temperature; no reheating needed.
