Ingredients
- 4 large ripe avocados
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 lime juiced (about 2 tablespoons)
- 1/4 cup freshly chopped cilantro
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt plus more to taste
Instructions
- Halve the avocados.
- Whack the blade of a knife into the center of the avocado pit.
- Pull the pit out of the avocado.
- Use a spoon to scoop the avocado flesh out and place in a bowl medium bowl.
- Using a butter knife, slice the avocado against the sides of the bowl until it's in chunks (or mash with a fork if you prefer a smoother consistency).
- Add the oil, lime juice, chopped cilantro and salt and pepper to taste, and stir gently to combine.
Notes
- Pro tip: Guacamole is best served immediately to prevent oxidation, but if you make it a few hours ahead, reserve the pits from the avocados and nestle them into the guacamole and cover with plastic wrap.
- Fresh guacamole will keep up to 3 days in an air tight container, but it will brown from oxidation. The unappetizing brown layer may be scraped off of the top with a knife before eating.
