  • 5 avocados, peeled, pitted, and mashed
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • ¾ cup minced green onion

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Avocados: Peel, pit, and mash the avocados in a serving bowl until creamy but still slightly chunky for texture.
  2. Add Lemon Juice: Stir in the fresh lemon juice to the mashed avocados to enhance flavor and help prevent browning.
  3. Incorporate Herbs: Mix in the minced green onion and fresh cilantro thoroughly to distribute flavors evenly.
  4. Season: Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, adjusting as needed for your preference.
  5. Serve or Store: Serve immediately for optimal freshness or cover the guacamole tightly with plastic wrap, placing the avocado pits in the bowl to further minimize browning and refrigerate until ready to use.

  • Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor and preservation.
  • This guacamole pairs well with tortilla chips, tacos, or as a topping for grilled meats.
  • You can customize by adding diced tomatoes or jalapeños if desired.
