Notes
Substitutions and Notes
Avocado - Use ripe avocados that give a little when you squeeze them gently. If they aren't ripe they will be harder to mash and will have less flavor.
White Onion - Substitute red onion for milder flavor.
Cilantro - If you don't like cilantro, you can substitute it with parsley or eliminate it altogether.
Lime Juice - 100% Real Lime Juice is a great substitute (purchased in the produce section of your grocer).
Mango - Pineapple and strawberry also work well.
Variations and Additions
Jalapeño, Serrano Chile, Chipotle Chili, diced
Cojita Cheese, crumbled on top
Black Beans, folded in
Sour Cream or Greek Yogurt, combined well to make it creamy
Tips
Use Ripe Avocado – A quick squeeze of the avocado while you’re shopping can tell you about ripeness. Soft to the touch? Just right for guac.
Keep it Green – You cannot prevent guacamole from browning, but you can slow the process. Add lime to guacamole. Cover it with plastic to prevent air from coming in contact (directly on the guac), and keep it cold. Refrigerate until serving (best served immediately). Consider filling a larger bowl with ice and placing the bowl of guacamole in it to serve to keep it chilled.
Refrigerate - This guacamole contains lime juice, so it will slow the browning of the avocado. Store it covered in the fridge and it will keep well for up to a day. It will be good to eat up to three days after you've made it, but it may start to discolor a little.
Freeze - Omit mango and onion before freezing in an airtight container and up to 3 months. Thaw it in the fridge and then stir in the mango and onion to serve.
