Homemade Guacamole
This guacamole recipe is simple and bursting with bright flavors like tomatoes, onions, fresh lime juice, and cilantro.
Ingredients
- 2 cups mashed ripe avocado (approx. 2 large)
- ¾ cup seeded, chopped Roma tomatoes (approx. 2 medium)
- ½ cup chopped onion, (approx. ¾ medium)
- ¼ cup fresh lime juice (approx. 2 limes)
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
- 2 Tbsp. seeded, chopped jalapeno pepper (approx. 1 medium) (optional)
- 1 Tbsp. lime peel (lime zest) finely grated, (approx. 2 limes)
- 1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ tsp. sea salt (or Himalayan salt)
- ¼ tsp. ground black pepper
Instructions
-
Combine avocado, tomatoes, onion, lime juice, cilantro, jalapeno (if desired), lime peel, oil, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl; mix well.
-
Serve immediately, or refrigerate, covered tightly, for a few hours to let the flavors meld.
Recipe Notes
- The myth that leaving an avocado stone in the guacamole will keep it from turning brown began because people noticed that the guacamole directly under a stone stayed green, but this is because that was the part not exposed to the air. So, if you want to keep your guac bright green while storing, press a piece of plastic wrap directly over the top, squeezing out all the air bubbles so that the plastic is in direct contact with the guacamole, and voilà, no more browning!
- Mashing avocados can be done with a potato masher, the back of a fork (for a chunkier guacamole), or in a food processor (for a smoother guacamole).
