Notes

  • Use ripe avocados that give a little when you squeeze them. Unripe avocados will be less creamy and harder to mash. I use avocados that are not too ripe, this gives the guacamole a nice green color. Buy them just about ripe but not too soft.
  • Mash the avocados by hand with a fork. Don't be tempted to use a food processor. This will result in a soupy guacamole!
  • If you don't like the taste of cilantro you can swap this with some fresh parsley so that you still get a herby hit of freshness.
