Notes

  • Use Ripe Avocados: The key to good guacamole is ripe avocados. If they’re too firm, the guacamole will be hard to mash. Soft avocados are perfect for a creamy texture.
  • Don’t Over-Mash: Mash the avocado, but leave some small chunks. It adds texture and makes the guacamole more interesting.
  • Adjust Lime and Salt: Taste your guacamole before serving. If it needs more flavor, add more salt or lime juice.
  • Add More Ingredients: If you like extra flavor, add chopped tomatoes, onions, or garlic. You can also add some chopped cilantro or a bit of chili for heat.
  • Serve Fresh: Guacamole is best when fresh. If you need to store it, cover it tightly to prevent browning.
