Ingredients needed

Ripe hass avocados. The key ingredient! To check if its ripe, give it a gentle squeeze.
Red onion. Sweet onions or white onions work too.
Fresh lime juice.
Cumin.
Kosher salt. (Ok this is technically 5 ingredients but salt is a pantry staple!) A pinch of salt will balance out the acidity of the lime juice.

Pro tip: Most of the time, local stores sell unripe avocados. The best way to know if they are ripe is to give them a gentle squeeze. If they are hard, then it can take 1-2 days for the ripening process to happen. For best results, store the unripe avocados in a brown paper bag at room temperature. If you add an apple to the brown bag, that speeds up the process more as it releases a gas. The perfect avocado will have nice green flesh and a slight nutty flavor to it with minimal brown spots.

How to make this simple 4-Ingredient Guacamole Recipe

Step One: Prepare the avocados. Cut the avocados in half and using a spoon, scoop the flesh of the avocados into a medium size mixing bowl.

Step Two: Mash the avocados. Use a potato masher or fork to mash the consistency you prefer.

Step Three: Add the chopped onion, cumin and lime juice. Season with salt to taste.

Step Four: Serve and enjoy with vegetables, chips or use a garnish on top of your favorite tacos or other food.

Storage tips

It’s best to serve guacamole fresh but you can store it in an airtight container for up to 2 days in the fridge. A tip is to place a piece of plastic wrap to cover the top of the guacamole so that it won’t turn brown. The secret is to keep out as much air as possible to avoid the browning process.

Helpful tips

Adjust lime juice and onion amounts to taste.
Double the recipe for gatherings.
Use a food processor to finely chop the onion quickly.
No limes? Use lemon juice as a substitute.
For extra flavor add different spices, chopped herbs like cilantro or jalapenos for heat.
For more creaminess, add plain greek yogurt, sour cream or cottage cheese like in my Avocado Cottage Cheese Dip.

Notes

Notes:

Storage: It’s best to serve guacamole fresh but you can store it in an airtight container for up to 2 days. A tip is to place plastic wrap to cover the top so that the guacamole won’t turn brown.

Tips:

This recipe can be doubled. Always add the lime juice a bit at a time to taste test that it’s not overly citrusy.

Always use ripe avocados.

Easily chop the red onion by using a food processor.

Start with adding only 1/8 of the red onion. If you want a little more or your avocados are bigger in size, then add the whole 1/4 cup.

To ripen avocados a bit faster, place them in a brown paper bag and store them on your counter.

Other variations is that you can add in fresh diced tomatoes, chopped cilantro, spice it up with jalapeños or add in chopped hearts of palm.

This recipe makes 2-4 servings.
