Notes
The main way to make this recipe for Guacamole taste it's best is to get that perfect avocado - not too green and not too ripe.
To do this, the avocado should have a brown skin but the skin should not be loose from the flesh.
Squeezing the avocado is not recommended as it will bruise but a gentle hand around the avocado can give you an indication.
If they are too green, keep them above the refrigerator - I find the warmth from the running fridge helps to ripen them faster than room temperature.
If you need to keep your avocados from ripening too quickly, then keep them in the fridge.
I never add mayonnaise or sour cream to guacamole, the ripe avocado adds all the creaminess you need.
If you like this recipe, you’ll probably like these ones too;
Both are simple, homemade and delicious!
