The Best 5-Ingredient Guacamole
This is my go-to guacamole recipe! It only requires a handful of ingredients and it's the perfect dip for any party.
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 5 minutes
Makes: 4 -6 servings
Ingredients
- 3 gently ripe large hass avocados, pitted
- 1/4 white onion, very finely minced
- 1 jalapeño, minced
- 1/3 cup minced fresh cilantro leaves and stems
- 1 1/2 limes juiced
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin optional
- Kosher salt to taste
- Freshly cracked pepper to taste
Instructions
- Scoop the flesh from the avocados using a spoon and place in a mixing bowl. Add the onions, jalapeño, and cumin (if using) to the avocado and using a fork, mash the avocado together with the onion and jalapeño, leaving some chunks of avocado for texture. Mix in the cilantro, lime juice, salt and pepper. Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
Notes
Allowing this guacamole to sit for an hour before serving is crucial! It allows all the flavors to meld together.
I don't recommend making this more than a couple of hours in advance before serving.
