For the Guacamole
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1/2 red onion
- 1 ripe tomato
- 1/4 lemon
- A little cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil
- A pinch of bamboo salt (to taste)
- A pinch of freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
To make fresh and delicious guacamole, first prepare one perfectly ripe avocado. Cut the avocado into bite-sized pieces. Next, finely dice half a red onion and one ripe tomato, making sure to remove the skin and seeds from the tomato. Finely dicing the onion and tomato is key for a great texture and harmonious blend in the guacamole.
Step 2
Using a spoon, gently mash the prepared avocado. For the best guacamole texture, it’s recommended to mash it until it’s mostly smooth but still has some small chunks remaining. Don’t worry if there are a few lumps; this adds to the authentic appeal.
Step 3
Place the mashed avocado into a bowl. Add the finely diced tomato and red onion that you prepared earlier. Combining all the ingredients in one bowl now will make the mixing process in the next steps much easier.
Step 4
Now, put on some disposable gloves and gently mix all the ingredients in the bowl with your hands. Mixing by hand allows you to blend everything evenly without breaking down the avocado too much, preserving its creamy texture and resulting in a more delicious guacamole.
Step 5
To add a fresh, zesty flavor, squeeze the juice of 1/4 lemon over the mixture and distribute it evenly. Lemon juice cuts through the richness of the avocado and adds a refreshing brightness. Then, season with bamboo salt and freshly ground black pepper to your preference. It’s best to add these seasonings gradually and taste as you go.
Step 6
Finally, drizzle in about 2 teaspoons of cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil and gently toss everything together until well combined. The olive oil enhances the flavors of the ingredients and contributes to the final smooth consistency.
Step 7
Transfer your beautifully mixed and appetizing guacamole to a serving dish. Your delightful homemade guacamole is now ready to be enjoyed! The rich flavor of fresh avocado combined with the varied textures of the vegetables is truly impressive.
Step 8
I often enjoy this for breakfast by spreading it on whole-wheat baguette or topping my salads with it as a dressing. 🙂
