Because avocados can brown quickly, it's best to make this guacamole just before serving. If you have to make it a little in advance, place the avocado pit in the guacamole until ready to serve. -Heidi Main, Anchorage, AK

Avocados are a nutrient-dense super food that everyone should eat more often. Unfortunately, store-bought guacamole often has low-avocado content and high calories, and homemade guacamole requires several other fresh ingredients, lots of chopping, and often added salt. This light, simple guacamole is quick and easy to make. Top tacos or any spicy, Mexican-style dish with a tablespoon or two for a heart-healthy bonus! Store in refrigerator.

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 haas avocado, flesh scooped out
1/2 small onion, chopped
2 medium garlic cloves, grated
2 Tbsp cilantro, chopped
1/2 tsp cumin
2 pinch chili powder
1/2 tsp habanero sea salt-or to taste
juice & zest of 1 lime
8-10 grape tomatoes, quartered

Steps:

  • 1. Combine all the ingredients except tomatoes. Mix well and fold in tomatoes. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and chill in fridge until ready to serve.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe avocados: Look for avocados that are dark green or black and slightly soft to the touch. Avoid avocados that are too hard or have blemishes.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh lime juice, cilantro, and onions will give your guacamole the best flavor. If you don't have fresh cilantro, you can use dried cilantro, but it won't be as flavorful.
  • Mash the avocados with a fork: This will give your guacamole a chunky texture. If you prefer a smoother guacamole, you can use a food processor or blender.
  • Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and cumin to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as chili powder, garlic powder, or cayenne pepper.
  • Serve immediately: Guacamole is best served fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

Conclusion:

Guacamole is a delicious and versatile dip that can be enjoyed on its own or as part of a meal. It's perfect for parties, picnics, and potlucks. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious guacamole that everyone will love.
