Prep Time: 5 mins
Cook Time: -
Total Time: 5 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings

Ingredients

  1. 2 ripe avocados
  2. 1 lime (juiced)
  3. 1/4 cup of cilantro
  4. 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  5. 1 small onion (finely chopped)

Instructions

  1. Carefully slice the ripe avocados in half, removing the pit. Scoop the avocado flesh into a medium mixing bowl.
  2. Squeeze fresh lime juice directly over the avocado flesh to prevent browning and add bright citrus flavor.
  3. Finely chop the fresh cilantro leaves, discarding the thick stems. Add the chopped cilantro to the bowl.
  4. Peel and finely dice the small onion into very small, uniform pieces. Add the chopped onion to the avocado mixture.
  5. Sprinkle the salt over the ingredients, ensuring even distribution.
  6. Using a fork or potato masher, gently mash the ingredients together until you achieve a slightly chunky, creamy consistency. Avoid over-mixing to maintain some texture.
  7. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or lime juice to balance the flavors.
  8. Cover the sauce with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent oxidation, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  9. Serve chilled as a dip, topping, or sauce for various Mexican dishes like tacos, grilled meats, or as a fresh condiment.

Tips

  1. Choose perfectly ripe avocados: Look for avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure but aren't mushy.
  2. Use fresh lime juice for the brightest flavor - bottled juice can't compare!
  3. Chop cilantro just before adding to maintain its vibrant color and fresh taste.
  4. For a smoother consistency, use a food processor, but be careful not to over-blend.
  5. To prevent browning, always keep the sauce covered with plastic wrap touching the surface.
  6. For extra heat, consider adding a finely chopped jalapeño or a dash of hot sauce.
  7. This sauce is best consumed within 24 hours for maximum freshness and flavor.
  8. Serve immediately after preparing for the most vibrant color and taste.
