Ingredients
  

  • 4 whole ripe avocados
  • ½ tablespoon lime squeezed
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup fresh salsa

Instructions
 

  • Halve each avocado and remove the pits. Scoop the meat out and place it in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
  • Add salt and lime juice.
  • Mash with a fork or pastry cutter until chunky.
  • Add the salsa. Stir gently to combine.

Notes

  • Buy The Perfect Avocadoes: If you don’t know how to buy avocados, Tastemade chef Megan Mitchell says “My tip to picking the perfect avocado is buying ones that are slightly under-ripe, that still feel a bit firm.” Ripe avocados are perfect to make guacamole!
  • Don’t Overmix Or Over-Mash: Doing so will make the avocado lose flavor and texture. Those avocado chunks are what makes the guacamole uniquely delicious and satisfying to eat.
  • Season Well: Don’t skimp on the salt! Start with a little, then taste and adjust as needed.
  • Add Extras: You can make guacamole just how you like it - try adding finely diced tomatoes, red onions, or jalapeños for added texture and flavor. You can also experiment with mix-ins. Try garlic, cumin, or a splash of hot sauce to customize your dip.
  • Try It Mild: For a mild guacamole recipe, use mild salsa. Pretty easy, right? If you like hot and spicy flavors, use a hot and spicy salsa instead. Temper the heat of spicy peppers and easily adjust for your preference.
  • Serve Immediately: Guacamole is best enjoyed fresh. Prepare it just before serving for the best flavor!
