How to Make Perfect Avocado Guacamole Every Time: Secrets to Freshness and Flavor
Today, we’re sharing the ultimate guacamole recipe that anyone can make easily with fresh avocados! The creamy richness of avocado, combined with the bright flavors of tomato and lemon, creates a delightful taste explosion. It’s fantastic as a topping for salads, a delicious spread for sandwiches, or enjoyed with freshly baked tortilla chips. Let’s get started!
Main Ingredients- 2 ripe avocados
- 1/4 fresh onion
- 9-10 cherry tomatoes
Seasoning & Dressing- 1/2 fresh lemon (or 1.5-2 Tbsp lemon juice)
- 1.5 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 3 pinches fine salt
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1/2 fresh lemon (or 1.5-2 Tbsp lemon juice)
- 1.5 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 3 pinches fine salt
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, peel the 1/4 onion and thinly slice it into fine shreds. If you find raw onion too pungent, you can soak it in cold water briefly or squeeze out excess moisture after slicing.
Step 2
Cut the 2 ripe avocados in half. Carefully remove the large pit by either gently tapping the knife into it and twisting, or scooping it out with a spoon. Then, peel the skin off.
Step 3
Wash the 9-10 cherry tomatoes, remove their stems, and cut them in half. Scoop out all the seeds from the center of the tomatoes; this helps prevent the guacamole from becoming watery.
Step 4
Finely dice the seeded cherry tomatoes. If you prefer some texture, you don’t need to dice them too small.
Step 5
Squeeze the juice from 1/2 fresh lemon. If you’re using bottled lemon juice, measure out about 1.5 to 2 tablespoons. Lemon juice not only adds a refreshing tang but also prevents the avocado from browning.
Step 6
In a mixing bowl, combine the prepared avocado, sliced onion, diced tomatoes, and lemon juice. Drizzle in 1.5 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil for added richness.
Step 7
Add 3 pinches of fine salt to season. Start with the amount shown in the picture and adjust to your taste later, being careful not to over-salt.
Step 8
Add freshly ground black pepper to enhance the flavor. If you enjoy pepper, grind about 10 times. The mild spiciness of the pepper will elevate the guacamole’s taste.
Step 9
Now, using a potato masher or a fork, gently mash and mix the avocados and all the ingredients until well combined. I prefer guacamole with a bit of chunkiness rather than a completely smooth texture, so I mashed it to a moderate consistency. You can mash it finely or leave it chunky according to your preference.
Step 10
Your delicious guacamole, with all the ingredients harmoniously blended, is ready! Transfer it to a nice serving dish, and voilà – a simple yet impressive dish is complete. It’s incredibly easy and offers a truly special taste. Serve with freshly baked tortilla chips or bread and enjoy!
