HOW-TO MAKE HOMEMADE GUACAMOLE | easy guacamole recipe

ripe avocados

🥗Healthier: avocado puree

💰Cheaper: frozen avocado

Frozen avocado can be more affordable and still nutritious.

lime juice

💰Cheaper: lemon juice

Lemon juice is often cheaper and can provide a similar tang.

cilantro

💰Cheaper: parsley

Parsley is a budget-friendly herb that can substitute cilantro.

Press your thumb gently into the skin of the avocado to check for ripeness; it should have a slight indentation.

Slice the avocado in half and tap your knife into the pit to remove it, or gently squish the sides to pop the pit out.

Scoop the avocado flesh into a mixing bowl.

Squeeze the juice from half of a lime over the avocado in the bowl.

Using the back of a fork, mash the avocado until creamy.

Add 1/4 cup of finely diced white onion and 1/4 cup of diced tomato to the bowl.

Remove the seeds from the tomato before chopping it to avoid excess moisture in the guacamole.

Press 1-2 cloves of garlic using a garlic press and add to the mixture.

Add 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh cilantro to the bowl.

Chop some green bell pepper and add it to the mixture instead of jalapeño for a milder flavor.

Finish with 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt and mix everything together until well combined.

Transfer the guacamole to a serving bowl.
