Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1/4 cup finely diced onions
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the avocados: Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
- Mash the avocado: Use a fork or a potato masher to mash the avocado to your desired consistency, whether chunky or smooth.
- Add lime juice and salt: Pour in the fresh lime juice and sprinkle the salt over the mashed avocado to enhance flavor and prevent browning.
- Mix in onions: Stir in the finely diced onions evenly throughout the guacamole to add crunch and a sharp, fresh taste.
- Adjust seasoning and serve: Taste the guacamole and add more salt or lime juice if needed. Serve immediately with chips or as a topping.
Notes
- Use ripe avocados for the best creamy texture.
- Lime juice is essential for flavor and to keep the guacamole from browning quickly.
- Finely dice onions to avoid overpowering the avocado’s creamy texture.
- Serve guacamole fresh for best taste; if storing, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent oxidation.
- You can add optional ingredients like chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes, or jalapeños for variation.
