    🛒 Ingredients and variations:

    This guacamole is a simple blend of avocado, red onion, lime juice + zest, coriander and chilli seasoned with a little salt, sugar and black pepper.

    Avocado - select ripe ones that are firm but give a little when you press the skin but be sure to avoid any squishiness because it’s a sign the avocado is starting to go bad. 

    Fresh red chilli - you can swap this for chilli flakes or omit it if you are sensitive to spice.

    🥑 Serving suggestions

    • A dip with crunchy tortilla chips.
    • For breakfast on toast or a bagel. Make it heartier and yummier with a poached or fried egg.
    • A must-have with nachos, burritos, quesadillas and BBQ Pulled Jackfruit Tacos, Sweet Potato Chilli, and this Vegetarian Burrito Bowl.
    • Scoop onto baked sweet potato for a quick and nutritious lunch/brunch

    👍 Top tips for perfect guacamole

    1. Choose ripe avocados - these are firm but give a little when you press the skin. Avoid squishy avocados - it's a sign they are starting to go bad. Hass avocados are a good choice, they are deliciously creamy and easy to find in most supermarkets.
    2. Use a potato masher - it's a great tool for getting a slightly chunky texture, but if you don't have one a fork will do.
    3. Taste and adjust - avocados can vary in size, so you might need to tweak the seasoning a little. Remember, you can't remove anything, but you can always add more.

    🙋 FAQs

    Is guacamole healthy?

    Absolutely, because avocados are full of good fats, fibre and contain over 20 vitamins and minerals. Guacamole is also vegan, gluten-free and a great crowd-pleaser for a party.

    Can I eat guacamole that has turned brown?

    Brown guacamole looks very unappetising. However, it is perfectly safe to eat if it has been properly stored in the fridge for less than 3 days. The browning is caused by oxidation when the guacamole is exposed to the air. If your guacamole turns brown, simply scrape off the brown part and continue to enjoy the yummy green dip underneath it.

    How do I stop guacamole from going brown?

    Cover the guacamole to minimise its exposure to the air. A bowl covered with cling film works fine, but an airtight plastic container is even better.

    How do I know if guacamole has gone bad?

    A bitter/fizzy taste, visible mould or bad smell are all signs that your guacamole has gone off. If in doubt chuck it!

    Can you freeze guacamole?

    I have tried but I don’t recommend it. You can freeze guacamole for up to three months but I found it altered the texture and didn’t taste good. Guacamole is so quick and easy to make, so why not eat it fresh each time? 

    Should I make my guacamole chunky or smooth?

    It’s a matter of personal preference. The guacamole in this recipe is slightly chunky because this is how I like it best. Mash less if you prefer chunkier guacamole or blend in a food processor if you like it smooth.

    Should guacamole have tomatoes?

    There's nothing wrong with adding tomatoes to guacamole, but they don't add a lot to the overall flavour. Guacamole without tomato will be just as flavourful and delicious.

    📦 Storage

    Guacamole will keep for 2 to 3 days in the fridge. You’ll need to cover it or place it in an airtight container to stop it from going brown. 

    If you are planning to eat the guacamole over a few days (max 3) I recommend dividing the guacamole into portions and placing them in separate airtight containers. This maximises freshness as it reduces the oxidation that happens each time a container is opened and exposed to the air.

    It's safe for freeze guacamole, but I don't recommend it because it alters the texture and does not taste fresh.
