Why You Should Make This Recipe
- So easy to make! It only takes a few minutes to put together, and used a few ingredients.
- Homemade guacamole is delicious, crowd-pleasing and customizable to your taste. Adjust the level of spice, mash it to your preferred consistency. Add in a spoon of restaurant-style salsa or spicy jalapeño salsa to change it up.
- Not only can it simply be used as a dip for a party with chips, it's a great side to many dishes, or a topping for tacos.
Key Ingredients
- Avocados: choose ripe avocados for the best result. If you squeeze it gently, it'll have a little give. If it's too mushy it could be brown inside, and if it's too hard or bright green, it's not ripe yet.
- Lime: juiced. Fresh lime is better than bottled lime for this recipe.
- Salt & Pepper: to highlight all the flavors.
- Fresh Cilantro: chopped very finely.

Top Tips
- Use ripe avocados. Not too ripe that they're mushy, but ripe enough that they mash easily.
- Mash to your preference. Use a fork for a chunkier guacamole, or blend it for a smooth one.
- Use salt! It deepens the guac.
- Serve it fresh! Guacamole doesn't stay green for very long, so the fresher the better.
- Use fresh lime! Not only does it add a delicious taste, it helps the avocado stay green longer.
Frequently Asked Questions
Technically no, but guacamole taste better cold! My tip is to keep all the ingredients we use to make it in the fridge so it's already cold when you mash it.
There's a few tricks that can help like limiting air exposure by keeping it covered, using lime generously, pressing plastic wrap directly on the mashed avocado, or adding a pit in the middle of it.
