It is a fresh, vibrant, and perfectly balanced dip that emphasizes the natural richness of the avocado while providing a zesty and refreshing finish that will impress any guest.
Ingredients
4 large Hass avocados
1/2 cup white onion, finely diced
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1–2 serrano peppers, seeded and minced
2 tablespoons lime juice, freshly squeezed
1 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Mince the white onion and serrano peppers into uniform, tiny pieces.
Chop the fresh cilantro leaves finely after removing the stems.
Combine the minced onion, serrano pepper, and sea salt in a large mixing bowl.
Crush the onion mixture against the sides of the bowl using a spoon or pestle to release their aromatic oils.
Slice the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into the bowl.
Fold the avocado into the onion mixture while using a fork to break down large chunks, maintaining a coarse texture.
Add the lime juice and fold gently to combine.
Incorporate the chopped cilantro with gentle movements before serving.
Notes
Store any leftovers by pressing plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole to prevent oxidation. Consume within 24 hours for the best flavor.
