Guacamole
Good avocados, lime, salt, onion, jalapeño. Don't overthink it. Don't over-mash it. Guacamole is one of those recipes where less is more and simplicity is the point. The avocado is the star — everythi
Ingredients
- 4 ripe avocados
- juice of 2 limes
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (more to taste)
- 1/4 cup white onion (finely diced)
- 1 jalapeño (seeded and minced)
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped)
Method
- Halve the avocados, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add lime juice and salt immediately — the acid prevents browning and the salt enhances flavor. Mash with a fork to your preferred consistency. I leave it chunky — big pieces of avocado in every bite. If you want smoother guacamole, mash more. Do not use a blender or food processor — it turns guacamole into a smooth paste that looks and tastes like baby food.
- Fold in the diced onion, jalapeño, and cilantro. Taste and adjust: more lime for brightness, more salt for depth, more jalapeño for heat. Serve immediately.
