Our Best Simple Guacamole

The lime juice needs to be fresh-Avoid using bottled lime juice. It contains preservatives that give it a sweet taste, and it’s also less acidic and, of course, not as fresh tasting.

Sharpen that knife!-Use a very sharp knife when chopping the cilantro to avoid bruising.

"I love guacamole, and this one is refreshing and super-easy to fix. And most of the ingredients can be prepared in advance and refrigerated until you're ready to add the avocado and serve. Nothing beats homemade-no dehydrated or granulated ingredients-everything is fresh and delicious!" - Diana Rattray
