Ingredients

• 3 ripe avocados
• 1 small red onion, finely chopped
• 1-2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 ripe tomato, chopped
• Juice of 1 lime
• Salt, to taste
• Black pepper, to taste
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1-2 jalapeños, finely chopped (optional)
• Veggie sticks (carrots, bell peppers, cucumbers, celery) for serving

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, scoop out the flesh of the avocados and mash them with a fork until smooth but slightly chunky.
2. Add the finely chopped red onion, minced garlic, chopped tomato, lime juice, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.</
3. Mix in the chopped cilantro and jalapeños if you’re using them.
4. Stir all the ingredients until well combined. Taste, and adjust seasoning if needed.
5. Arrange the veggie sticks on a vibrant platter and serve alongside the guacamole.

Helpful Tips

• Ensure your avocados are perfectly ripe for the best-guacamole—soft but not mushy.
• You can prep the veggies in advance and store them in an airtight container in the fridge to keep them fresh.
• If you prefer a tangier guacamole, add more lime juice or a touch of apple cider vinegar.
• Add a sprinkle of cumin or smoked paprika for an extra layer of flavor.

Storage Instructions

Store leftover guacamole in an airtight container with a layer of lime juice or plastic wrap pressed against the surface to prevent browning, and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Veggie sticks can be stored in a container with a damp paper towel to keep them crisp.

Pairings

This guacamole pairs beautifully with tortilla chips, grilled chicken, or as a side with quesadillas. Serve with iced tea, a light and fruity sparkling water, or a refreshing homemade lemonade for the perfect summertime treat.
