Ingredients for Authentic Fresh Guacamole

  • 2 ripe avocados
  • Lime Juice
  • Garlic Clove
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • Green Onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt

How to Make Authentic Fresh Guacamole

  1. Halve 2 ripe avocados lengthwise.
  2. Remove the pit from each avocado half and scoop out the flesh into a medium-large bowl.
  3. Add 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced (adjust to your spice preference), and the juice of 1 lime to the bowl.
  4. Gently mash the avocados with a fork until you reach your desired consistency. Leave some chunks for a more rustic texture.
  5. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon cumin. Stir to combine thoroughly.
  6. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more lime juice for extra zing or salt for deeper flavor.
  7. Serve immediately with tortilla chips or your favorite accompaniments.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
