Description
This 4-Ingredient Guacamole Recipe is simple, fresh, and bursting with flavor. Made with ripe avocados, zesty lime juice, a pinch of salt, and fresh cilantro, this guacamole is perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 Ripe Avocados – The base of your guacamole, providing creamy texture and rich flavor.
- Juice of 1 Lime – Adds a tangy flavor while preventing browning.
- Pinch of Salt – Enhances the flavors of the avocado and lime.
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Cilantro (chopped) – Provides a fresh, herbaceous note that complements the other ingredients.
Instructions
- Prepare the Avocados:
Cut the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pit. Scoop the avocado flesh into a medium-sized mixing bowl. - Mash the Avocados:
Using a fork or potato masher, mash the avocados to your preferred consistency. Some like it smooth, while others prefer it chunky. - Add Lime Juice:
Squeeze the juice of one lime over the mashed avocados. The lime adds a zesty flavor and helps prevent the guacamole from browning. - Season with Salt:
Add a pinch of salt to taste. Stir to evenly distribute the flavor. You can always adjust the amount based on your preference. - Mix in Cilantro:
Chop 2 tablespoons of fresh cilantro and stir it into the guacamole for a bright, fresh flavor. - Taste and Adjust:
Taste your guacamole and adjust the seasoning, adding more lime juice or salt as needed. - Serve Immediately:
For the best flavor and freshness, serve the guacamole immediately with tortilla chips, as a topping for tacos, or alongside grilled meats.
Notes
- Customization: Feel free to add extra ingredients like diced tomatoes, onions, or jalapeños for a more personalized flavor.
- Storage Tip: To prevent browning, press plastic wrap directly on the surface of the guacamole or store it in an airtight container in the fridge. It will stay fresh for up to 2 days.
- Texture: Adjust the consistency to your preference by mashing the avocados more or less, depending on whether you like your guacamole smooth or chunky.
