Zesty Lime & Cilantro Guacamole
Creamy, fresh, and full of bright, zesty flavour, this classic guacamole is a vibrant take on a beloved dip. Ripe avocados are gently mashed with tangy lime juice, crisp red onion, juicy tomato, and fragrant cilantro, creating the perfect balance of smooth and chunky in every bite. Finished with a hint of garlic and a touch of salt, it’s a simple, feel-good staple that’s just as perfect for scooping with chips as it is for topping tacos, bowls, or toast.
Ingredients
3 ripe avocados
1 small lime, juiced
2 tbsp red onion, finely diced
1 small tomato, diced
1–2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
1 small garlic clove, minced
¼ tsp salt (plus more to taste)
Optional: ½ small jalapeño, finely chopped
Directions
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
Mash gently with a fork to your desired texture (chunky or smooth).
Add lime juice, salt, garlic, and jalapeño (if using), and mix to combine.
Fold in the red onion, tomato, and cilantro.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or lime juice if needed.
Serve immediately, or press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent browning and refrigerate until ready to enjoy.
