A fresh and textured guacamole featuring creamy avocado balanced with bright citrus and crisp onion, perfect for any occasion.

  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 2 cups 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium avocados
  • 1/2 white onion – finely diced (about 1/3 cup)
  • 2 organic medium tomatoes – seeded and diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro – finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves – minced
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice – roughly 1 lime
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice – roughly 1/2 lemon
  • 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • dash of crushed red pepper and/or cayenne pepper – optional

Instructions

  1. Cut avocados in half lengthwise; remove seeds. Scoop out avocado flesh from the peel; add to a medium mixing bowl. Using a fork or masher, mash the avocados (not too much; it should be a little chunky).
  2. Add the onion, tomatoes, cilantro, garlic, lime juice, lemon juice, salt, cumin, black pepper, and crushed red pepper (optional) and mix with a large spoon until blended.
  3. Serve immediately for freshest taste, or refrigerate until ready to eat. Makes roughly 2 cups guacamole.

Notes

To keep it fresh longer, press plastic wrap directly over the surface before storing.
