Guacamole is a classic and delicious dip that’s perfect for any occasion, from game day to movie night. The best part? It’s incredibly easy to make at home! With just a few simple ingredients, you can whip up a bowl of fresh and flavorful guacamole in no time—and here’s how to do it.
Fresh Avocados
To start, you’ll need ripe avocados. Look for avocados that are slightly soft to the touch, but not mushy. Cut them in half and remove the pit, then scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
Adding Some Sides
Next, add some diced tomato, red onion, and jalapeño for a bit of heat. If you’re not a fan of spice, you can skip the jalapeño or use a milder pepper like a poblano.
A Proper Mashing
Mash everything together with a fork or a potato masher until the avocado is creamy but still has some texture. Add a squeeze of fresh lime juice and a pinch of salt, then taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Some Extra Flavors
For an extra burst of flavor, you can also add some chopped cilantro or garlic. And if you’re feeling adventurous, try mixing in some diced mango or pineapple for a sweet and tangy twist.
