Happy Cinco de Mayo!

This is my favorite guacamole. It’s full of crunchy texture from the addition of tomatoes and red onion and all the classic flavors of a good guacamole – garlic, jalapeño, cilantro, and lime.

Yum. Yum. Yum.

My best ever guacamole couldn’t be easier. All ingredients go in one bowl and you’ve got the ultimate party dip/appetizer/snack!

Pro tip – use a potato masher to mash your avocados to desired chunkiness level! Makes the job faster and easier than trying to mash with a fork or spoon.

I highly recommend slicing some cucumbers and any other veggies you prefer for dipping. Don’t let chips have all the fun! A veggie & guacamole tray is a great addition to bring some freshness and serious nutrition to any party/picnic/tailgate spread!

Happy snacking!

Classic Guacamole
Ingredients
  • 2 ripe avocados
  • juice of 1 lime
  • 1 cup chopped cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 jalapeno, seeds & membrane removed & finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/2 cup cilantro, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, mash avocados with lime juice. I like to use a potato masher for the job!
  2. Add tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, garlic, cilantro, salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
  3. Serve with tortilla chips and/or veggies for dipping.
Notes
Store in airtight container in refrigerator. Best if enjoyed immediately, but will keep 1-2 days before avocados begin to brown. I like to add an extra squeeze of lime juice after the guacamole has sat a while to help re-freshen all the flavors.
