Ingredients
- 3 3 ripe avocados
- 1 1 lime
- 1-2 1-2 cloves garlic finely minced
- ¼ ¼ teaspoon sea salt
Optional Ad-Ins
- 1 1 medium Roma tomato seeded and diced
- ¼ ¼ cup minced white onion
- ¼ ¼ cup minced cilantro
- 1 1 Jalapeno pepper seeded and minced
- ½ ½ teaspoon ground cumin
Instructions
- To cut the avocados, run a knife around the avocado (from top to bottom) and twist it in half. Pull out and discard the pit. Using a spoon or your thumb, remove the flesh and place it into a medium-sized bowl.
- Use a fork to gently mash each avocado half several times so the guacamole is creamy but still a bit chunky.
- Squeeze the lime into the bowl with the avocado. Add the garlic, salt, and any/all or none of the optional ingredients and stir them into the guacamole. Taste and add more salt if needed.

Notes
- Guacamole is best made and eaten right away. If you must store it, make sure that you cover it with parchment paper directly against the guacamole. Press the paper into it with your fingers to prevent any air from getting to it and causing it to go brown.
- To make a single serving, lunch-sized guac, use 1 avocado, ½ lime, a small clove of garlic, and a pinch of sea salt.
