This 4 Ingredients Guacamole recipe is packed with fresh, bright flavors and comes together in minutes. The perfect easy snack or side dish. This homemade guacamole is creamy, deliciuos, and made with only a handful of simple ingredients.
Prep Avocado: Cut the avocados in half and remove the pit. Scoop out the soft flesh and put it in a mixing bowl. Mash with a fork.
Prep onion: Finely dice the onion.
Combine the Ingredients: Add the finely diced onion, lime juice, and salt to the mashed avocado.
Mash together: Mash the mixture with a fork or a potato masher until well combined and slightly chunky.
Taste and Adjust: Taste the guacamole and add more salt or lime juice if desired.
Notes
Fresh lime juice gives the best flavor compared to bottled juice.
Serve immediately for the freshest flavor and texture.
Make sure to dice the onion very small so it mixes evenly throughout the guacamole.
To keep the guacamole from browning, I seal it with plastic wrap or leave a pit in the mix.
Store unpeeled ripe avocados in the fridge to prevent them from further ripening.
Refrigeration: Leftover guacamole can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. I often cover it tightly with plastic wrap to stop all air contact.For the best flavor, it should be served at room temperature!
