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:

1. Prepare the Avocados:

   • Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.

2. Mash the Avocados:

   • Use a fork to mash the avocado. Make it as smooth or chunky as you prefer.

3. Add Lime and Salt:

   • Add the lime juice and salt to the mashed avocado. Mix well to combine.

4. Add Vegetables and Herbs:

   • Gently stir in the diced onion, chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes, and minced garlic.

5. Season:

   • If you like a bit of heat, add a pinch of ground cayenne pepper. Adjust the salt and lime juice to taste.

6. 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.
