Ingredients
Produce
- 2 ripe avocados
- ½ medium white onion, chopped
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 lime, juiced
- ½ mango, chopped
Seasoning
- Sea salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Avocados: Slice each avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl. Using the back of a spoon or a muddler, mash the avocado until smooth but still slightly chunky.
- Add Vegetables and Lime Juice: Add the chopped white onion, cilantro, and freshly squeezed lime juice to the mashed avocado. Stir gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Fold in Mango: Carefully fold in the chopped mango pieces to preserve their shape and incorporate the sweet flavor throughout the guacamole.
- Season: Season with freshly cracked sea salt and black pepper to taste, adjusting as needed for your preferred flavor balance.
Notes
- Use ripe avocados that yield slightly to a gentle squeeze to ensure creamy texture and optimal flavor.
- Substitute white onion with red onion for a milder taste if preferred.
- If you dislike cilantro, replace it with parsley or omit it entirely.
- For lime juice, fresh squeezed is best, but 100% real lime juice from the store is a good alternative.
- Pineapple or strawberries can substitute mango for different fruity variations.
- For added heat, consider folding in diced jalapeño, serrano chile, or chipotle chili.
- Add crumbled cojita cheese, black beans, sour cream, or Greek yogurt for extra creaminess and flavor.
- To slow browning, cover guacamole with plastic wrap placed directly on the surface and keep refrigerated.
- Store guacamole in the fridge for up to one day; it may discolor but remains safe to eat for up to three days.
- Freeze guacamole without mango and onion in an airtight container for up to three months, then add mango and onion after thawing.
