Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 medium avocado
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice or lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon chopped red onions
  • 1 garlic clove -minced
  • ⅛ teaspoon chopped jalapeños
US - Metric

Instructions

  • Cut the avocado in half, remove the seed, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
  • Mash with a fork, leaving some chunks for texture.
  • Stir in the salt, lime juice, onions, garlic, and jalapeños.
  • Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to eat.

Notes

  • Pick the Right Avocado: A ripe avocado should give slightly when squeezed. Too firm, and it's not ready; too soft, and it's overripe. Buy firm avocados and let them ripen on the counter for a few days.
  • Make It Your Own: Swap red onions for white, add more jalapeños for heat, or mix in diced tomatoes or cilantro if you like.
  • Prevent Browning: Guacamole is best fresh, but if making ahead, store it in an airtight container to slow browning.
