Guacamole Recipe
This authentic guacamole recipe takes 10 minutes and uses ripe avocados, fresh lime juice, onion, cilantro, and salt for a bright, chunky dip that tastes like restaurant guac. Mash the avocados, stir in the remaining ingredients, taste, and adjust the salt and lime. It’s simple, reliable, and made for taco night, parties, or last-minute appetizers. The secret is to use the freshest ingredients with the right ratio of lime juice, kosher salt, and cilantro.
