Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 3 medium avocados
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp cumin Omit for AIP
- Optional: 1/4 tsp cayenne Omit for AIP
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 1 clove garlic minced
- Optional: 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
- Optional: 1 jalapeño pepper seeds removed and chopped
Instructions
- Peel and seed the avocados, and scoop out the pulp into a large bowl.
- Pour lime juice over the avocados.
- Add salt, cumin, and cayenne (if using), and mash together with a fork or a potato masher.
- Add onion, garlic, and cilantro (if using), and stir together.
- Let sit in the fridge for at least 15 minutes before serving, so the flavors can meld together.
Notes
- Adding in a fresh roma tomato is a great option if you want to add something extra to your guac.
- Use ripe avocados. They should be slightly soft when gently pressed but not mushy. If they’re too firm, let them ripen at room temp for a day or two.
- If you love extra creaminess and dairy isn’t an issue for you, try stirring in a dollop of sour cream or cream cheese! It’s not traditional, but it adds a super smooth texture.
- Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface before sealing in an airtight container. This minimizes air exposure.
- Store in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- A thin layer of water or lime juice on top can help preserve freshness. Just pour it off and stir before serving.
