To make this easy guacamole recipe, simply gather up the following guacamole ingredients:

• Avocados: The riper, the better.
• Diced red onion: If you would like to make it a bit milder, just rinse and drain the chopped onion in water briefly before adding it to the avocados.
• Cilantro: If you happen to be part of the 14% of the population that doesn’t like fresh cilantro, just skip it.
• Jalapeño: Or you can use serrano pepper instead.
• Lime juice: Freshly-squeezed, please!
• Fine sea salt: A critical ingredient to bring out all of those good flavors!

Want to customize your own guacamole recipe? There are all sorts of fun ingredients you can add in, such as:

• Fruit: such as mango, pineapple, pomegranate, berries, apple, peaches, grapes!
• Chopped nuts: such as pepitas, toasted almonds, cashews, etc.
• Cheese: any soft cheeses such as feta, goat, blue cheese or queso fresco are delicious
• Greek yogurt or sour cream: if you’d like creamier homemade guacamole
• Chopped chipotle in adobo: if you’d like a smokier chipotle guacamole
• Additional chopped chile peppers: if you would like an even more spicy guacamole
• Bacon or chorizo: just because
