Easy Guacamole
Description
The recipe starts by mashing peeled and pitted large avocados with fresh lime juice, kosher salt, and ground cumin, leaving the mash slightly chunky to preserve texture. Fresh ingredients such as finely chopped red onion, chopped cilantro, diced and deseeded tomato, and minced garlic are folded into the mashed avocado, adding brightness, herbaceous notes, and mild pungency.
The final guacamole has a creamy yet rustic texture from the combination of smooth avocado and diced vegetables. The lime juice provides acidity to prevent browning and brighten the flavors, while the cumin adds subtle earthiness. This straightforward guacamole can be served as a dip for chips or as an accompaniment to Mexican dishes.
Because it uses fresh ingredients and lime juice, it is best enjoyed soon after preparation, though covering tightly and refrigerating can slow browning. Adjust seasoning to taste as desired.
