Ingredients
3 ripe avocados
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
1 to 2 teaspoons finely chopped seeded jalapeno (see Cook's Note)
Directions
- Mash together the avocado, lemon juice, lime juice and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a mixing bowl until creamy. Fold in the cilantro, red onion and jalapeno with a spoon or spatula. Adjust the salt if needed.
- The guacamole can be made up to 2 hours in advance. Store in an airtight container and smooth a sheet of plastic wrap on the surface without any air pockets. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Cook’s Note
Jalapenos have varying degrees of heat. It is best to try a small piece of jalapeno to determine spice level, then add according to your preference.
