Creamy, fresh, and packed with flavor, guacamole is a classic dip made with ripe avocados, zesty lime juice, and simple ingredients. Perfect as an appetizer or snack with chips, or as a topping in tacos or salads, this easy homemade guacamole recipe is ready in 10 minutes and is naturally gluten-free and vegan!

📝 Ingredients

• 3 medium ripe avocados
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 tablespoon diced red bell pepper
• 1 Roma tomato, finely chopped
• 1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced very finely
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Mash Avocado Flesh: Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop out the flesh. Mash the avocado in a bowl with a fork until smooth or slightly chunky (this will depend on how you like your guacamole).
2. 2Add Other Ingredients and Mix: Add the salt, lime juice, chopped cilantro, red onion, garlic, chili, and tomatoes. Mix everything well and let sit for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld. (Avoid letting guacamole sit too long, as avocado can oxidize and the guacamole will turn brown over time.)
3. 3Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately with corn tortilla chips, celery sticks, carrots, crackers, or other sides. Alternatively, you may also use it as a topping in tacos or salads.
