Classic Guacamole

Ingredients

  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 1 small red onion, finely diced
  • 1 tomato, finely chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime and zest
  • Small bunch of fresh coriander, chopped
  • Salt and pepper

Method

Mash avocados in a bowl until the desired thickness. I like it a little lumpy. Then add lime juice and zest until. Stir in onion, tomato, and coriander. Season to taste.

Variations & Tips

  • Add chilli for heat.
  • Swap lime for lemon if needed.
  • Use as a dip, spread in wraps, or topping for chilli.
  • Adding a touch of mayonnaise can help loosen the texture and create a creamy consistency. 
  • Fresh minced garlic for aumami flavour.
  • A pinch of smoked paprika can add a subtle sweetness and depth of 

Storage

  • Best eaten fresh.
  • Keeps 1 day in fridge with cling film pressed directly onto surface, may go a little brown on top, but that’s ok, either mix it in or skim and throw it away.
