Notes

Here are some top tips to help you succeed in making Mexican Guacamole like a pro:
  1. Some store-bought guacamole products may contain added ingredients like salt, preservatives, or unhealthy fats. Making guacamole at home using fresh ingredients is a healthier option, and it's super quick to prepare and make.
  2. To ensure good quality avocados, choose the Hass variety rather than the Californian. Also, be mindful to select those that are not overripe. Before purchasing, gently press them with your fingers to check for firmness.
  3. If avocadoes feel too squishy, looking for another batch is advisable. The ideal texture should be firm yet slightly soft and springy.
  4. When making guacamole, it is important to note that it can oxidize and change color quickly. While adding lime juice can slow down this process, using only two teaspoons may not completely prevent it from turning brown. Another option to stop this natural occurrence is adding cold water over the top before refrigerating. Drain the water before using again.
  5. If you find yourself craving some guacamole that's been stored for a few hours, drain any excess water and stir it well. It'll be just as tasty as when you first made it. This method works great and will keep your guacamole fresh and delicious for up to two days.
  6. Use fresh or even organic ingredients for a better taste.
