Authentic Guacamole Recipe
Description
The recipe begins with mashing halved, peeled avocados to a desired chunkiness, which sets the texture foundation for this guacamole. Finely diced onions, cilantro, and mild jalapeño pieces are folded in to provide fresh pungency and a subtle kick. Fresh lime juice adds acidity that brightens the rich avocado flavor and helps prevent browning, while a pinch of salt and garlic powder season the mixture evenly. The final taste is adjusted with more salt if preferred, ensuring a balanced dip. This guacamole pairs well as a topping or side for Mexican dishes and is best served fresh to maintain its vibrant color and texture.
Ingredients
- 3 avocado halved, seeded and peeled
- 1/4 cup white onion (finely diced)
- 1/4 cup cilantro (diced and tightly packed)
- 1/4 jalapeño (deseeded and finely diced)
- 2 Tablespoons lime juice about 1-2 limes, fresh
- 1 teaspoon salt (or more to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Lightly mash avocados with a fork, leaving chunks, if so desired.
- Add diced onions, cilantro, jalapeno. Drizzle with fresh lime juice. Sprinkle on salt and garlic powder. Stir.
- Taste and add more salt as needed. I tend to like my guacamole with some flavor so I add a little extra salt.
