Ultimate Gluten-Free Guacamole: Fresh, Flavorful, and Simple
Ingredients:
- 3 ripe avocados
- 1 lime (juiced)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 roma tomatoes, diced
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 pinch ground cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Avocados:
- Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
-
Mash the Avocados:
- Use a fork to mash the avocado. Make it as smooth or chunky as you prefer.
-
Add Lime and Salt:
- Add the lime juice and salt to the mashed avocado. Mix well to combine.
-
Add Vegetables and Herbs:
- Gently stir in the diced onion, chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes, and minced garlic.
-
Season:
- If you like a bit of heat, add a pinch of ground cayenne pepper. Adjust the salt and lime juice to taste.
-
Serve:
- Serve immediately, or cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface of the guacamole to prevent browning and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Tips:
- Choosing Avocados: Make sure the avocados are ripe. They should give slightly when pressed.
- Preventing Browning: Besides using lime juice, keeping the avocado pit in the guacamole can help slow down the browning process.
- Variations: Feel free to add or substitute ingredients like diced jalapeños for extra heat or roasted garlic for a different flavor profile.
