Naked Guacamole (3 Ingredients)
This is the simplest, best-tasting homemade guacamole. It's easy to make with just three ingredients. Grab some avocados, fresh limes, and salt. Have a party!
Ingredients
- 3 (510 g) ripe avocados halved and pitted
- Freshly grated zest from 1 lime
- 2-3 tablespoons (45 ml) fresh-squeezed lime juice
- Fine sea salt
Instructions
- Scoop the flesh from the avocados with a spoon into a bowl.
- Add the lime zest, 2 tablespoons lime juice and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Press down gently on the avocado mixture with a potato masher or back of a wooden spoon until it's creamy with some visible chunks.
- Taste for seasoning. Add more lime juice and salt to taste. Serve with tortilla chips, spread on toast and sandwiches, or spooned into tacos.
Notes
- Use ripe Hass avocados in this recipe. It's usually the variety you'll find in most markets and grocery stores.
- Don't be shy about adding salt. It works magic with the fatty avocado and the bright acidity in the lime juice.
- Serve within one day for best quality.
- To keep it fresh, squeeze a few more drops of lime juice over the top and cover tightly with plastic.
Add in options:
- Finely chopped red onion
- Chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- Sliced or finely chopped hot green chili, like a jalapeño or serrano
- Chopped tomato
