About this recipe

Guacamole is a traditional avocado dip from Mexico, commonly enjoyed alongside tacos, tortillas and many other dishes. Ripe avocado forms its creamy base, while fresh lime juice and salt make the flavour brighter. Tomatoes, finely chopped onion, cilantro and a little garlic add colour, crunch and depth. This version includes a modest amount of seeded fresh jalapeño for a clean, gentle heat without turning the dip into a different dish. Keep the avocado slightly chunky rather than whipping it to a purée. Remove excess watery pulp from the tomatoes so the mixture holds its texture. Guacamole is best prepared shortly before eating because the exposed avocado surface naturally browns in contact with air. Cover the surface closely and chill promptly if storing. Serve with vegetables or tortillas and always use clean utensils for fresh uncooked produce.
