A quick and easy fresh guacamole recipe that combines ripe avocados, lime juice, and fresh ingredients for a flavorful party dip ready in under 5 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large or 3 medium ripe avocados
  • 1–2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped small red onion
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 small jalapeño, deseeded and finely chopped
  • 1 small Roma tomato, seeded and diced (optional)
  • Sea salt to taste
  • A pinch of freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 small clove garlic, minced (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep your ingredients (about 5 minutes): finely chop the red onion, cilantro, jalapeño (remove seeds for milder heat), and dice the Roma tomato after removing seeds. Squeeze fresh lime juice and set aside.
  2. Halve and pit the avocados: cut in half, twist to separate, remove the pit with a spoon or knife, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
  3. Mash the avocado gently with a fork or potato masher to your preferred consistency, aiming for a mix of creamy and chunky.
  4. Add 1 tablespoon lime juice and about 1/2 teaspoon sea salt. Mix gently to combine.
  5. Fold in the chopped onion, cilantro, jalapeño, and tomato carefully to keep texture intact.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning with more lime juice, salt, or a pinch of black pepper. Stir in minced garlic if desired.
  7. Optional: cover the bowl with plastic wrap pressed onto the guacamole surface and chill for up to an hour before serving to minimize browning.

Notes

Use ripe avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure but are not mushy. Do not over-mash to keep a creamy yet chunky texture. Fold ingredients gently to preserve freshness. Use fresh lime juice to prevent browning. Serve promptly or cover with plastic wrap pressed onto the surface and refrigerate to minimize browning. Avoid blending to prevent watery texture.
