Base Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (natural)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 small jalapeño or chili pepper, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (natural)
- 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
Instructions
- Prepare your avocados: Slice the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Use a fork to lightly mash the avocado, keeping some chunks for texture.
- Add fresh veggies and herbs: Finely chop red onion, tomatoes, cilantro, and jalapeño. Fold these into the mashed avocado for bursts of flavor and color.
- Season and mix: Add fresh lime juice, salt, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce. Mix everything gently to combine without over-mashing.
- Adjust to taste: Taste your guacamole and add more salt, lime juice, or jalapeño if needed. This step ensures the perfect balance of flavors.
Notes
- Choose perfectly ripe avocados: They should give slightly to gentle pressure but not feel mushy.
- Prevent browning: Cover the guacamole directly with plastic wrap to reduce air exposure.
- Balance acidity: Use fresh lime juice, and add a little more if the guacamole tastes too rich or bland.
- Keep some avocado chunks for a satisfying texture rather than completely mashing it smooth.
- Serve immediately for best flavor; refrigerate leftovers for up to 2 days.
