It is a simple yet refined crowd-pleaser that prioritizes high-quality produce for a consistently fresh and delicious result every single time.
Ingredients
3 large ripe avocados
1/4 cup finely diced white onion
1 whole serrano pepper, de-seeded and minced
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
2 tablespoons lime juice, freshly squeezed
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Dice the white onion and serrano pepper into uniform, small pieces.
Mash the avocado flesh in a wide bowl using a fork until a chunky consistency remains.
Incorporate the diced onion, minced pepper, and chopped cilantro into the avocado base gently.
Add the fresh lime juice gradually to the mixture.
Sprinkle the sea salt over the top and fold the ingredients together until well combined.
Taste the mixture and adjust the salt levels as needed before serving immediately.
Notes
Always select avocados that yield to gentle pressure. For the best flavor, serve immediately to maintain texture and color. If not serving right away, cover with plastic wrap pressed directly against the surface of the guacamole to prevent oxidation.
