Best Guacamole Recipe with Lemon
A basic guacamole recipe made with only four simple ingredients (if you don`t count the salt and pepper). Serve as a party dip with tortilla chips and crunchy veggies, on toasted bread as a simple avocado toast, or to tacos.I bet this is your new favorite homemade guacamole - simple, quick to make, and absolutely delicious.
Ingredients
- 3-4 perfectly ripe avocados medium/large - about 450-480 g avocado flesh
- 15 g fresh red chili pepper about 1 chili. Hot sauce to taste can be used as a substitute
- 5 cloves fresh garlic
- 25 ml fresh lemon juice about 1-1 ½ lemons
- sea salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cut each avocado in two and remove the avocado stone and the small stem. If there are any dark brown spots in the avocado, remove these with a spoon. If you like your guacamole a little chunky set half an avocado to the side and add the rest of the avocado flesh to a large mixing bowl. If you like your guacamole completely creamy then add all of the avocado flesh to the bowl.
- Finely chop the garlic and red chili, and squeese the lemon juice.
- Add the garlic, chili and lemon juice to the bowl with the avocado.
- Use a food processor like a hand held blender to creamify all the ingredients in the mixing bowl. If you do not have a hand held blender you can also use a potato masher.
- Once your guacamole is smooth, add salt and pepper to taste. The chili adds a little heat to your guacamole. If you like it spicier then you can now add more chili, little by little, to taste.
- If you wanted your guacamole a little chunky, then take the avocado you set to the side in step 1 and cut it into smaller squares. Add this cut avocado to the guacamole and mix in with a spoon.
- (If you have any) store any leftover guacamole in an airtight container in your fridge for up to 2-3 days.If the surface of the guacamole turns slightly brown, simply mix it with a spoon to make the fresh green color pop again.
