Ingredients
- 2 Large ripe avocados
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice Or lemon juice as a variation
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
- 1 Clove garlic Finely minced
Instructions
- Prepare Avocados: Start by cutting the avocados in half around the pit. To separate the two sections, twist them in opposite directions. Then, scoop out the seed using a tool like a spoon or knife. Transfer the soft green flesh of the avocado into a medium-sized bowl for mixing.
- Mash: Use a fork or a potato masher to crush the avocado until it reaches your desired consistency. Some prefer a chunky texture, while others might like it smooth.
- Add Ingredients: Sprinkle the kosher salt over the mashed avocado, then add the minced garlic and lime juice. For those wondering if you can make guacamole with lemon, the answer is yes! Replace the lime juice with an equal amount of lemon juice for a different citrus twist.
- Mix and Mash Again: Combine all components thoroughly, mixing them until they are fully integrated. If you opt for lemon juice, you’ll notice it imparts a slightly sweeter, more pronounced citrus flavour than lime.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste your guacamole and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Based on your taste preferences, you may want to incorporate additional salt or a bit more citrus juice from either a lime or lemon.
- Serve: For optimal taste, present your guacamole right away alongside preferred accompaniments such as corn chips or crisp vegetables.
