Basic Guacamole Recipe
Photo: © 2015 by Maren Caruso
Go easy on the salt and lime, the better to appreciate the flavor of the avocado. Guacamole must always be mashed by hand, never made in a food processor or blender!
Makes about 1 cup
1 ripe, medium Hass avocado
1 Tbsp. freshly squeezed lime juice
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. minced serrano chili
1 Tbsp. minced white onion
1/2 Roma tomato, seeded and diced (optional)
Split, peel and pit the avocado, then cut it into 1-inch cubes. Place in a small bowl, then stir in the lime juice and salt. Add the serrano and onion and mash roughly with a fork. It should be fairly chunky. Add the tomato and stir to combine.
