Guacamole

Ingredients (~1.5 cups)

• 1 Ripe Hass avocado
• 1/4 tsp salt (or more to taste)
• Juice from 1/4 lime (or more to taste)
• 2 Tbsp white onion, finely diced
• 1/2 Jalapeño or 1 Serrano pepper, deseeded & minced
• 1/2 Roma tomato, diced
• 1 Tbsp cilantro (leaves & stems), finely chopped

Make the Guacamole

Use a spoon to scoop the avocado flesh into a medium-sized mixing bowl.

Sprinkle the salt over the avocado and squeeze the lime juice on top.

Use a potato masher or a fork to mash the ingredients together. Aim for a chunky consistency, not a smooth puree.

Add the finely diced onion, minced pepper, diced tomato, and chopped cilantro to the bowl.

Use a spoon to gently fold these ingredients into the mashed avocado base. Do not overmix.

Let the guacamole sit for a minute, then taste it. Add more salt or lime juice if needed.

The key to this recipe is mashing the avocados with salt and lime juice first before gently folding in the other ingredients. This creates a chunky, rustic texture. The best way to prevent browning is to make it right before you plan to serve it.
