Ingredients
  

  • 3 medium avocados (ripe)
  • 2 tablespoon lemon or lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (or to taste)
  • 1/3 cup red onion (diced)
  • 1 medium tomato, diced
  • optional* 1 tablespoon Jalapeño (de-seeded and chopped)
  • 1/4 cup cilantro (finely chopped)

Instructions
 

  • Carefully slice the avocados in half and remove the pits. Scoop out the inner part of the avocados into a mixing bowl.
    3 medium avocados (ripe)
  • Add the lemon juice and salt to the mixing bowl and mash together until it reaches your desired consistency (for more texture, leave some avocado chunks unmashed).
    2 tablespoon lemon or lime juice, 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (or to taste)
  • Stir in the chopped onions, jalapeñno, tomatoes and cilantro. Mix until combined.
    1/3 cup red onion (diced), 1 medium tomato, diced, optional* 1 tablespoon Jalapeño (de-seeded and chopped), 1/4 cup cilantro (finely chopped)

Notes

  • Substitute the jalapeño with 1/4 chopped green pepper. 
  • For delicious guacamole, it's best to use fresh lemon or lime juice instead of bottled versions. The bottled juice can make the guacamole taste too sour.
  • The guacamole will last up to 2 days in the refrigerator.
