Best Guacamole Recipe
Description
"Best Guacamole Recipe" is a straightforward blend of ripe Hass avocados mashed to leave some chunks, mixed with lime juice, minced garlic, red onion, and chopped cilantro. Salt and black pepper season the dip, while optional diced tomato and jalapeño can be added for extra freshness and spice. The lime juice brightens the flavor and slows browning.
The result is a creamy mixture with fresh, slightly crunchy onion and herb notes accented by garlic pungency and citrus. The slight chunkiness of the avocado provides pleasant texture contrasts. The method involves gentle mashing and thorough mixing to balance flavors and preserve some avocado texture.
This guacamole can be served with tortilla chips, as a spread on sandwiches or tacos, or alongside grilled meats. Covering tightly with plastic wrap to block air contact prevents browning if made ahead.
Ingredients
- 15 ounces avocado from 3 medium hass, pitted and halved
- 1 lime (juiced)
- 1/3 cup red onion (minced)
- 1 small garlic mashed or minced, clove
- 1 tbsp cilantro chopped, fresh
- kosher salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- tomato optional, diced
- jalapeño optional, diced
Instructions
- Make the guacamole: Place the pulp from the avocados in a medium bowl and slightly mash with a fork or a potato masher leaving some large chunks. Add lime juice, salt, pepper, cilantro, red onion, garlic and mix thoroughly.
- If you are serving this at a later time: a great tip to keep the guacamole from turning brown is to cover tightly with plastic wrap so no air gets on it.
Notes
- The recipe yields approximately 2 cups of guacamole, enough for several servings.
- Cover the guacamole tightly with plastic wrap touching the surface to minimize browning if prepared in advance.
