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!
