Description
A creamy, zesty guacamole that’s perfect for parties, snacks, or as a topping. Fresh avocados, lime, and simple seasonings make this classic dip irresistible.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ripe avocados (or use extra creamy guacamole if preferred)
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped (red onion works beautifully)
- 2 roma tomatoes, diced (cherry tomatoes for a sweeter twist)
- 1 lime, juiced (fresh lime only)
- 1–2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt to taste (sea salt recommended)
- Chopped cilantro, optional
Instructions
- Cut avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop into a mixing bowl. Mash with a fork until smooth or chunky, as desired.
- Add onion, tomatoes, garlic, lime juice, and salt. Mix gently to combine without over-mashing.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or lime juice. Stir in cilantro if using.
- Transfer to a serving bowl, press plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent browning, and chill for 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
Avoid over-mashing for the best texture. Keep guacamole covered or chilled to prevent browning. Fresh is always best within 1-2 days.
