Servings: 4
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados cubed (about 2 cups)
- 1 small ripe mango diced (about 1 1/2 cup)
- 1/4 red onion diced (about 1/2 cup)
- 1/2 jalapeño pepper seeded and diced (optional)
- 1/3 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro chopped
- 2 limes juiced (about 2 tbsp)
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
Instructions
- Place the avocado in a mortar or large bowl, and mash slightly with a pestle or fork.
- Add the diced mango, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and sea salt and mash with the pestle or a fork until the guacamole is your desired texture.
- Season to taste with more salt, lime juice, or jalapeño before serving.
Notes
Storage Directions
Transfer the guacamole to an airtight container and place a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface before securing the lid and storing it in the refrigerator for 1-2 days. The extra layer of plastic wrap will help prevent the guacamole from browning.
Recipe Pro-Tips
- Speed up avocado ripening. If the avocados aren’t quite ripe enough when purchased, place them in a paper bag overnight with a banana or apple at room temperature to speed up the ripening process.
- Preserve ripe avocados. If your avocados are ripe but you aren’t ready to make guacamole, store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks and they will remain ripe until you’re ready to use them!
- Adjust seasonings to taste. Taste the guac as you go and adjust the amount of lime juice, sea salt, and jalapeño (if you’re using it). Start modestly and add more gradually until you achieve your desired balance of flavors.
- Perfect texture. For smoother guacamole, mash the avocados and the other ingredients well to meld the texture and flavors. Or, lightly mash the avocados and gently mix in the mango and other ingredients for a heartier, chunky texture.
- Serve immediately or chilled. Fresh mango recipes with avocado are best served fresh or chilled for up to one hour in the refrigerator to allow the flavors to meld.
