Main ingredients

• Ripe hass avocados. All delicious guacamole starts with creamy avocados. Most often times, 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. 

• Red onion. Sweet onion or white onions can be good as well. 

• 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.

How to make this simple 4-ingredient guacamole recipe

1. Cut the avocados in half and using a spoon, scoop the flesh of the avocados into a medium size mixing bowl. Begin to mash with a potato masher or fork. 

2. Add the chopped onion, cumin and lime juice. 

3. Continue to mix well. Season with salt if desired. 

4. Serve with vegetables, chips or use a garnish on top of your favorite tacos or other food. 

Storing leftover guacamole

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.
