Ingredients

  • 2 large ripe avocados (~ 15 oz / 420g total)
  • 1 ½ tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice, more as desired
  • 2 cloves garlic, grated (or crushed with a press)
  • ½ cup (8g) cilantro leaves and tender stems, chopped
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • Kosher salt or sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions

  • Scoop out the avocado flesh into a bowl; keep one avocado pit for storage.
  • Squeeze the lime juice on top of the avocado flesh. Add the garlic, cilantro, and cumin. Mash everything up with a fork until smooth but there are still some rough avocado chunks. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Store leftover guacamole in an airtight container with the avocado pit on top. Seal and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
