  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt or more, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro minced
  • optional: 1/2 large jalapeno finely diced

Instructions

  • First, remove the pits from your avocados and then scoop out the flesh and transfer it into a medium-size bowl. Use a fork to mash avocado flesh until smooth. Alternatively, you can leave some chunks, if you prefer a more chunky guacamole.

Notes

  • Storage: We recommend eating guacamole immediately after you make it. However, if you have leftovers, place guacamole into a medium bowl and squeeze on some lime juice. Then, cover it with a piece of plastic wrap and remove as much air as possible. Store in the fridge for 2-3 days.
  • Nutrition information does not include chips.
