Description
This superior guacamole recipe focuses on the natural texture of Hass avocados, hand-mashed to achieve the ideal balance of creamy and chunky. By using fresh aromatics like white onion, cilantro, serrano pepper, and vine-ripened tomatoes, this dip provides a vibrant and authentic Mexican flavor profile. The precise use of fresh lime juice and sea salt ensures a bright, perfectly seasoned appetizer that is naturally vegan and free from additives, perfect for any gathering.
Ingredients
3 large Hass avocados
2 tablespoons lime juice, freshly squeezed
1/4 cup white onion, finely diced
1/3 cup cilantro, freshly chopped
1 small serrano pepper, seeded and minced
1 medium Roma tomato, deseeded and finely diced
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Slice avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits.
Scoop the flesh into a large mixing bowl.
Mash the avocado lightly with a fork to maintain some texture.
Stir in the fresh lime juice immediately to prevent browning.
Add the salt and mix, allowing it to draw out the onion liquids for better flavor distribution.
Fold in the diced white onion, chopped cilantro, minced serrano pepper, and diced tomatoes.
Adjust salt to taste and serve immediately.
Notes
Ensure avocados are slightly soft to the touch for the best texture. If you prefer less heat, remove all seeds and membranes from the serrano pepper before mincing. Serve immediately for the freshest taste, as oxidation will change the color even if lime juice is added.
