Alison's Unmatched Guacamole Ingredients

• Avocados - The perfect avocado is so important! Place the avocado in the palm of your hand and gently squeeze for a consistent slight give to it. It should also have a dark green skin to it.

• Garlic- Add flavor and a pungent taste that pairs perfectly with avocados.

• Himalayan Pink Sea Salt- Brings out the natural flavors of the guacamole while helping it stay fresh and vibrant.

• Cilantro - We love cilantro and add it to any recipe that we can. For the guacamole, it adds a vibrant herb taste to the guacamole.

• Grape Tomatoes - There are many tomato options, but we find that grape tomatoes pair the best with this recipe. They are available year-round and add color and sweetness. Added Bonus: They don't break apart as easily when you mix.

• Lime- Did you actually think we forgot the lime? The lime adds the perfect acidity to the creamy avocado.

• Red Onions (Optional)- We always love the sharp taste and crispy texture of the onion!

• Parsley (Optional) - We always go with cilantro, but we know some people don't prefer it. Parsley offers a milder flavor for those who find cilantro too strong. Instead, switch parsley for the cilantro.

  
  

Fresh, flavorful guacamole made with simple ingredients — nothing extra.

List of Ingredients

• 2 regular-sized ripe avocados (7–9 ounces each)

• 3 to 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced

• 3 to 4 twists of salt

• 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

• 6 grape tomatoes, sliced into quarters

• 1 small lime (or ½ medium lime), freshly squeezed

• 1/8 red onion, finely diced (optional)

Step 1: Prep the Avocados

Slice the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl.

Step 2: Smash!

Using a fork, mash the avocados to your desired consistency — chunky or smooth.

Step 3: Add the Fresh Ingredients

Add the minced garlic, chopped cilantro, fresh lime juice, salt, and red onion (if using). Gently fold everything together until well combined.

Step 4: Add the Tomatoes

To keep the tomatoes intact, gently toss them in and carefully stir to mix all the ingredients.

Step 5: Serve Immediately

Why wait? This fresh homemade guacamole is best served right away. Enjoy it as a guacamole dip with tortilla chips, spoon it over tacos or salads, or pair it with crisp vegetables. The possibilities are endless.

Storage: While best served fresh, any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. To minimize browning, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole before sealing the container.
