# Ingredients You’ll Need:
→ Produce
01 -
3 large ripe avocados, slightly soft to the touch
02 -
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, about 1 medium lime
03 -
1/4 cup finely diced white onion
04 -
1 clove garlic, minced
05 -
1 medium jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced
06 -
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
07 -
1 medium Roma tomato, diced (optional)
→ Seasonings
08 -
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
09 -
Cumin, to taste (optional)
10 -
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste (optional)
# How to Make It:
01 -
Halve the avocados, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a large mixing bowl. Mash with a fork until mostly smooth but still slightly chunky.
02 -
Immediately drizzle the mashed avocado with fresh lime juice to inhibit oxidation.
03 -
Add the minced garlic, finely diced white onion, chopped jalapeño pepper, and chopped cilantro. Sprinkle with kosher salt. Gently mix all ingredients to combine evenly.
04 -
Taste and adjust with additional lime juice, salt, or jalapeño if desired. If including tomatoes, fold them in gently at this stage to prevent excess moisture.
05 -
Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld.
06 -
Transfer to a serving bowl. For storage, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to minimize air contact. Serve chilled with tortilla chips or fresh vegetable crudités.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
For optimal flavor, choose ripe avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure. Additional herbs or toppings may be folded in just before serving for customization.
