Description
Experience the vibrant, fresh flavors of a classic Mexican guacamole. This recipe focuses on high-quality Hass avocados, bright zesty lime, and crisp white onion, hand-mashed to create a rich, rustic texture. By avoiding unnecessary fillers like sour cream, this authentic dip allows the natural creaminess of the avocado to shine, making it the perfect appetizer for any gathering or a healthy snack paired with crispy tortilla chips.
Ingredients
3 large Hass avocados
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/4 cup white onion, finely diced
1/3 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 small jalapeño, seeded and minced
Instructions
Slice the avocados in half lengthwise and carefully remove the pits.
Scoop the avocado flesh into a large chilled glass bowl.
Dice the white onion into uniform pieces about one-eighth inch in size.
Mince the fresh cilantro leaves finely.
Add the lime juice, diced onion, chopped cilantro, sea salt, and seeded jalapeño to the avocado.
Use a fork or potato masher to combine the ingredients, leaving the mixture slightly chunky.
Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
Notes
Ensure avocados are ripe by checking that they yield slightly to firm pressure. Do not over-mash; maintaining a chunky consistency provides the best mouthfeel. Cover the surface with plastic wrap touching the guacamole to prevent browning if storing briefly.
