Ingredients
- 2 large ripe avocados
- Juice from ½ a lime
- 2 tablespoons minced cilantro
- 2 tablespoons minced red onion
- 2 tablespoons minced jalapeño, seeds removed
- ½-3/4 teaspoon kosher salt (to preference)
Instructions
- Cut the avocado in half lengthwise around the pit. Twist the halves apart. To remove the avocado pit, place your index and middle finger on the green flesh to the sides of the pit. Place your thumb on the back of the avocado and put pressure behind the pit until the pit pops out. Using a spoon, gently slide along the edges and scoop the flesh of the avocado out of the skin and place it into a medium-sized bowl. Using a fork or potato masher, mash the avocado until there are small chunks remaining.
- Dice the red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro. Add the salt and lime juice. Mix well until combined. For best results, serve immediately.
Notes
- When guacamole is stored in the fridge, it is normal for the top layer to become brown. For the first few days, it won't affect the taste, but may not be the most visually appealing. You can reduce the brown by giving the guac a good mix before serving to minimize the color. The best way to store guac is in an airtight container, or by placing a layer of plastic wrap directly on the top of the guacamole. The goal is to prevent the guac from too much contact with air which creates oxidation and results in the brown color. The guac is still best eaten within 1-2 days.
