easy creamy guacamole - featured image

A quick and creamy guacamole recipe perfect for beginners, ready in just 5 minutes with simple ingredients and a smooth texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium ripe avocados
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 small clove garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • A pinch of black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
  • A handful of cherry tomatoes, finely diced (optional)

Instructions

  1. Slice the avocados in half, remove the pit carefully, and scoop the flesh into a medium mixing bowl.
  2. Using a fork or potato masher, gently mash the avocado to a mostly smooth texture with a few small chunks.
  3. Pour in 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Stir well to combine.
  4. Add minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Stir gently to distribute evenly. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  5. If using, gently fold in chopped cilantro and diced cherry tomatoes or other veggies.
  6. Give it a final taste test and adjust salt or lime juice if necessary. Serve immediately or cover tightly with plastic wrap pressed onto the surface to reduce browning.

Notes

Use ripe but firm avocados for best texture. Fresh lime juice is essential to prevent browning and add brightness. Adjust seasoning gradually. Serve immediately or cover tightly to reduce oxidation. Optional ingredients like cilantro and cherry tomatoes add freshness and color. For a creamier texture, mash thoroughly or use a small food processor briefly. Variations include adding jalapeño for spice or coconut cream for extra creaminess.
