Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 piece Ripe avocado The star of the show! Make sure it’s ripe for that creamy texture.
  • 1 tablespoon Lime juice Adds brightness and prevents browning. Lemon juice can be used as a substitute.
  • 1 pinch Salt Enhances flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro Optional; offers a refreshing herbal note.
  • 1 tablespoon Tomato, diced Adds freshness and sweetness; can be omitted for purer guacamole.
  • 1 tablespoon Onion, finely chopped Red onion is milder; green onions are a great alternative.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Discard the skin.
  2. Using a fork or a potato masher, mash the avocado to your desired creaminess.
  3. Squeeze in some fresh lime juice to keep the avocado from browning.
  4. Stir in a pinch of salt, freshly chopped cilantro, diced tomato, and finely chopped onion.
  5. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
  6. Enjoy your guacamole right away.

Notes

Use ripe avocados for the best texture. Store leftovers with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface to minimize browning.
