How to Make America's Test Kitchen Guacamole
- Halve and pit 3 ripe avocados. Scoop the flesh into a medium bowl, reserving 2 halves for mashing.
- Mash 2 avocado halves with a fork until relatively smooth.
- Dice the remaining avocado half into small cubes.
- Finely dice 1 jalapeño pepper, removing seeds and membranes for less heat (or leave them in for extra spice!).
- Add the diced avocado, 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro, 1 jalapeño (diced), 1 teaspoon lime zest, and 2 tablespoons lime juice to the mashed avocado.
- Gently fold all ingredients together until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Season generously with salt (start with 1 teaspoon and adjust to taste).
- For ahead-of-time preparation: Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole to prevent browning. Refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Bring to room temperature and add extra lime juice and salt to taste before serving.
