Recipe Notes
Tips for making Homemade Guacamole:
- Pick avocados that are firm but gentle to the touch- This is typically a good sign that avocados are ripe and ready to cut open. These make for the richest and creamiest guacamole.
- Leave the pits from the avocado in the guac until ready to serve- This trick slows down the avocados from browning.
- Use a potato masher to mash avocados- It makes it so much easier and you can control how creamy or chunky you want to leave your avocados. Depending on what kind of texture you want your guacamole to be.
