Guacamole is all about avocados. Avocado’s creaminess catalyzes our Guacamole’s lush texture. The lime juice adds that tangy edge and also keeps our rich, green avocados from browning. Spice it up a bit with Jalapenos, mix in some sweetness with red onions and beautifully blend in with cilantro. Remember, Guacamole is a delicate balance of flavors. You can skip the garlic if you want. On the other hand, if you are an ardent garlic lover, be my guest!

How To Make Easy Guacamole

1. Half the avocados and remove the pits. Scoop out the avocado into a bowl.
2. Use a fork to mash the avocados until it is as smooth as you like.
3. Add lime juice and salt, mix well. This step is crucial to maintain the bright color of the guacamole and provide a good taste balance.
4. Finally, fold in the chopped red onions, Jalapeno, and cilantro, give it a good mix, and voila! You’re done.

Tips For The Best Results

• Always use ripe avocados.
• Add lime juice right after you mash avocados to prevent them from browning.
• Taste as you go along. The amount of salt will vary based on the size of your avocados and personal preference.

Storage Tips

• Guacamole turns brown quickly, to prevent this, add an extra splash of lime juice on top before storing.
• Store the guacamole in an airtight container in the fridge. It lasts for a couple of days.
