This guacamole is as basic as you can get: avocado, salt, lime. As with so many things, less is more when it comes to guacamole. The key to good guacamole is to start with delicious, ripe avocados.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
Yield: About 2 cups
Ingredients:
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1/2 - 1 tsp. sea salt
- 1 - 3 tsp. fresh lime juice
Preparation:
Cut the avocados in half lengthwise and twist lightly to separate the halves. Take out the pits (I find chopping into them with a sharp knife grabs the pit and lets me just pull it right out), and then use a spoon or fork to scoop out the avocado flesh into a medium bowl. Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp. salt and use a fork to mash the avocado and the salt together (this can also be done in a large mortar and pestle). Add a tsp. of lime juice and stir to combine. Taste and add more salt and/or lime juice to suit your taste.
