Notes
- To avoid watery guacamole: De-seed the tomatoes if you aren't eating it immediately.
- Avocado brown spots: These can leave a bitter taste, so you may want to slice away any brown spots before mashing the avocadoes.
- For super smooth guacamole: Use a blender/ food processor to process the avocado and lime juice before folding in the remaining ingredients.
- Timesaving tip: Use a vegetable chopper or mini food processor to ‘chop’ the onion and process the avocado to your desired consistency.
