Guacamole is a traditional Mexican dip that has gained global popularity for its creamy texture and fresh flavors. This particular recipe adds a delightful twist by incorporating fresh tomatoes and a zing of lime juice, making it an irresistible accompaniment for chips, tacos, or even as a spread for sandwiches. Let's dive into the steps to make this delicious guacamole.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Finely chop the onion and add it to the bowl with the mashed avocado.
- Quarter the cherry tomatoes and gently fold them into the avocado mixture.
- Finely chop the coriander leaves and mix them into the guacamole.
- Pour in the lime juice to the mixture. This not only adds flavor but also helps prevent the avocado from browning.
- Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the guacamole and mix thoroughly to ensure even seasoning.
- Taste the guacamole and adjust the seasoning as needed. You might want to add a bit more salt or lime juice to suit your preference.
- Transfer the guacamole to a serving bowl. Optionally, garnish with a few extra coriander leaves or cherry tomato pieces for presentation.
Tips:
- Choose ripe avocados for the best texture and flavor. They should yield slightly to gentle pressure.
- If you prefer a chunkier guacamole, mash the avocados lightly with a fork instead of fully pureeing them.
- To prevent the guacamole from browning, cover the surface with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the guacamole before sealing it in an airtight container.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of lime juice and salt to suit your taste preferences.
- You can add a bit of minced garlic or jalapeño if you prefer some extra zest and spice in your guacamole.
With its rich creaminess from the avocados, the crunch from the onions, a burst of freshness from the tomatoes, the zest from the lime juice, and the hint of coriander, this guacamole is perfectly balanced and delicious. Serve it immediately with your favorite chips or store it in an airtight container to enjoy later. Happy dipping!
