4 Ingredient Guacamole Recipe
Description
This guacamole recipe focuses on the essential ingredients: ripe Hass avocados mashed with minced garlic, fresh lime juice, and kosher salt. The preparation involves mixing the garlic, lime juice, and salt first, then adding the scooped avocado and mashing it to the desired chunkiness. The result is a smooth, creamy dip with balanced acidity and a hint of garlic sharpness.
The simplicity of this recipe highlights the fresh avocado flavor while providing enough seasoning to enhance it without overwhelming. It is suitable as a snack, appetizer, or accompaniment to Mexican dishes.
Practical notes emphasize that the guacamole can be prepared up to a day in advance if covered tightly with water or citrus juice and plastic wrap to prevent browning. It also freezes well when stored in airtight containers with as much air removed as possible, remaining good for up to three months. Using kosher salt is suggested but can be substituted with table or sea salt.

Notes
