Description
This authentic restaurant-style guacamole is a refreshing, simple dip that prioritizes the natural, buttery texture of premium Hass avocados. By keeping the avocado chunky and hand-mixing fresh aromatics like cilantro, white onion, and jalapeño, this snack achieves a perfect balance of creamy and crisp. It is a vibrant, healthy, and crowd-pleasing appetizer that relies on fresh lime juice and high-quality sea salt for a bright, clean flavor profile that elevates any Mexican-inspired meal without unnecessary fillers.
Ingredients
3 large ripe Hass avocados
1/4 cup white onion, finely diced
1/3 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 small jalapeño, seeded and minced
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Slice the avocados in half lengthwise and carefully remove the pits.
Scoop the avocado flesh into a glass mixing bowl using a large metal spoon.
Dice the white onion and jalapeño into very fine, uniform pieces.
Mash the avocado chunks with a fork until they reach a coarse, chunky consistency.
Fold in the diced onions, minced jalapeño, and fresh chopped cilantro using a silicone spatula.
Pour the fresh lime juice over the mixture and sprinkle the sea salt evenly.
Stir the components gently until combined, taking care to preserve the avocado chunks.
Notes
Select avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure to ensure optimal ripeness. Remove all seeds from the jalapeño to modulate the heat levels according to your preference. Serve immediately for the best texture or cover with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface to prevent oxidation (browning).
