Homemade Guacamole Dip
We love how easy this homemade guacamole is. It only takes about 10 minutes to throw together and you can make it as spicy or as mild and as smooth or chunky as you like.

Notes
- We prefer to make this fresh as the avocados do oxidize when exposed to air. To store this, smooth out the top and squeeze a bit of lime juice over it. Smooth plastic wrap over the top making sure it touches the surface of the guacamole. Store in the fridge for 1-2 days.
- If the guacamole is bland, it likely needs more lime juice or salt. Do keep in mind that if you're using this as a dip, the chips have a bit of salt on them so test it with a chip to be sure you're not over salting.
