Can I freeze guacamole?

Yes, freezing guacamole is fine! Just pop it in an airtight container and make sure to leave some room at the top for it to expand. When you're ready to eat it, let it thaw in the fridge and give it a good stir before serving. Keep in mind that the texture might not be quite the same as fresh, so it's better as a base for dips or in recipes rather than serving it as is.

Can I use unripe avocados for guacamole?

Oh no, unripe avocados just won't cut it for guacamole. They're too hard and lack that creamy texture we all love. So, wait until they're nice and ripe before using them. To speed up the process, pop them in a brown paper bag with an apple or banana.

Is guacamole healthy?

Heck yeah, guacamole is super healthy! Avocados are packed with healthy fats and nutrients like fiber, potassium, and vitamin C. Just remember to keep the salt in check and watch your portions.

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Cut avocados in half lengthwise. Remove the pit from the avocado and discard. Remove the avocado from the skin and place the avocado flesh into a large bowl.
Using a large metal whisk, mash the avocados until half of the texture is creamy and half chunky. You want the chunks no more than 1/2-1 inch. Stir in salt with a spoon.
In a separate bowl, mix onions, jalapeno, and cilantro. Add lime to the mixture, and with a spoon fold into the mashed avocados. Do not mash. Taste for salt and acidity, and add more as needed. At this point, you can serve the guacamole right away or chill covered for 15-20 minutes. I personally think it tastes better after it’s been chilled.

Notes

Original Recipe: I kept the recipe as close to the original as possible. Make sure to taste the guacamole before and after chilling and if needed add more salt and lime juice.
Storing Guacamole: See post for tips on storing leftover guacamole.
