Guacamole
Guacamole is the best avocado dip out there in the universe. It’s pretty healthy and full of minerals, vitamins, and healthy fats (hello avocado and olive oil, also known as the best combination ever). It’s great for birthday parties, gatherings, bbq. Serve it with your favorite tortilla chips or vegetable sticks for a healthier version. Feel free to season it to your taste. If you love spicy food, then add more chili, if not, omit it entirely. It is such a simple, 5-minute recipe, that can be wholly adapted to your taste.

Guacamole

Guacamole is a delicious Mexican spread that celebrates delicious avocados. They say that a good Guacamole must contain ripe, high-quality avocados, salt, and lime juice. Traditionally, we need to grind the chili paste in the pestle and mortar - that's what we did as well. By doing that, we add a beautiful spicy aroma to the dip. It is one of our all-time favorite homemade dips, and I bet you guys are going to love it too.

How to make Guacamole at home

Making this beautiful avocado dip at home is super easy. This is how we do it:

  1. Prepare all the ingredients for the chili paste: Chop the shallot, garlic, coriander, and jalapeño
  2. Combine and crush the chili paste in the mortar, add the lemon juice and crush to get a rough paste
  3. Remove the avocado stones and mash it using a fork
  4. Combine everything in a bowl and season with olive oil, cumin, salt, and pepper
  5. Serve with your favorite snack

How to store and freeze Guacamole

Guacamole is prepared in just 5 minutes, so it's always better to make it from scratch whenever you crave it. However, feel free to store any leftovers. The best way to do that is by placing the Guacamole in a freezer bag and sealing it using a vacuum machine. By doing that, we will prevent the avocado from oxidizing and turning brown. Keep it chilled in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze it. Keep it in the freezer for up to 1 month.
