Easy Guacamole Recipe
This incredibly creamy and fresh Guacamole is easy to make and makes a great alternative to mayo in burgers or the perfect dip for corn chips!
Ingredients
Guacamole
- 1 tbsp red onion finely chopped
- 1 bunch of coriander chopped
- 1 tbsp jalapeno chilis chopped (optional)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 large avocados see notes
- 1 lime juiced
Instructions
Guacamole
- Add the onion, coriander, jalapenos (optional) and salt to the bowl of a mortar and pestle. Grind to a paste. Alternatively, you can add these chopped ingredients to a chopping board and use a knife to grind down as much as you can.
- Add the avocados (take seed and skin out obvs) to a bowl and mash. Mash them roughly for a chunkier dip and finely for a smoother dip. Add the paste and some fresh lime juice and mix until well combined.
- To store: add to a bowl and smooth down the top. Cover with a thin layer of olive oil and store in the fridge for up to 3 days. When you’re ready to use it, take out of the fridge, spill the oil out, add some fresh lime juice and mix before serving.
- Spiciness: if you’re not into spicy food and you’re a woos like I am, leave the chilies out. If you love extra heat, add more chilies!
Notes
To season your mortar and pestle - seasoning your mortar and pestle (if using to make the paste) is really easy and it helps prevent it from absorbing smells and makes it easier to clean when you’re done. Simple add about 1 tsp of course salt and use crush it around the bowl. It will grind into any holes in the bowl and plug them.
Avocados - it’s important you use ripe avocados. Avocados that aren’t ripe enough won’t mash up properly. I used 3 medium sized avocados, but you can use two large avocados.
Storage - Guacamole can be stored in an airtight container, in the fridge for up to three days. Cover with olive oil to prevent it from going brown. When you’re ready to use it, spill the oil out and add some fresh lime juice before serving to freshen it up.
Nutrition - is based on per serve, this serves about 5 people. 2 if you’re just eating it from corn chips for dinner like we are tonight!
