Incredibly easy and quick Guacamole recipe! It is super simple, made with only 4 ingredients, and SO tasty. This is my very best Guacamole recipe!
4 Ingredient Guacamole Recipe
I love Guacamole; I use it as a dip with tacos, salads, and Nachos or smeared over plain old bread to make some yummy grilled sandwiches.
I like to use ripe avocados in this recipe, so when I buy them, I look for the ripe but still firm ones, and if I don't find any, I just do this trick to ripen them.
I wrap the avocados separately in foil sheets and then bake them in a preheated oven at 90c / 200f for 10-15 minutes. Sometimes, it takes 5 minutes more if the avocados are so large.
I highly recommend preparing this recipe just prior to eating to prevent Guacamole from turning brown. Also, adding lemon juice helps prevent that as well.
My Guacamole recipe is vegan and Keto friendly, simple and doesn't call for cilantro.
Also, this dish is totally customizable; you can add chillies and make it spicy, add tomatoes or replace onion with garlic.
Ingredients
Note: This is an overview of the ingredients. See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.
Avocados: I used 2 large ripe avocados. The softer and riper they are, the better.
Red onion: Finely chopped. The smaller the pieces, the better. You can substitute red onion with 2 cloves of garlic, minced.
Lemon juice: I prefer freshly squeezed. You may use lime instead.
Salt: As per your preference, I add ½ teaspoon.
Tip: If you’re making this for the first time, then go ahead and add a small amount of salt before you taste the mixture. If you think it requires more, only then add more salt.
How To Make 4 Ingredient Guacamole Recipe?
Preparation:
Firstly cut the avocado in half, and scoop out the fulsome avocado using a big spoon.
Now go ahead and chop the onions finely. Remember, the raw pieces of onion will be felt on the tongue, so keep them small. Lastly, squeeze out the lime juice and set it aside for later.
Method:
In a mixing bowl, pour the lemon juice on the avocados, and use a fork to mash them up. The consistency needs to be that of a dip, so mash accordingly.
Next, stir in the chopped red onions and add salt to your preference; mix until combined.
Lastly, transfer the Guacamole into a serving bowl and serve.
Tip: You can serve this dish immediately or let it sit for 15-30 minutes in the fridge to allow the avocados to soak up all the flavors, then serve.
Ways To Use Guacamole
- This dish can be used as a spread in a sandwich and grilled for best taste.
- I also find it great for dipping your veggies or simply dressing it as a salad.
- I also like to stuffing it in tacos or using it as a dip to enjoy with Nachos.
- The creativity with Guacamole is limitless; you can use it as a garnish with mashed potatoes, eggs, toast, soup etc.
- You can also serve it with Fish Rice.
Storing and Freezing
This dish should last a good 2-3 days in the refrigerator. Nevertheless, if you want it to last 2-3 months, you can also freeze it. Beware; the taste of the Guacamole will change when it has been frozen for such an extended time.
There are two ways you can go about freezing this recipe. Firstly, you can seal it in a zip-log bag, push out all the air from the bag and place it in the freezer. Alternatively, you can pour it into a container. After flattening the top, pour in a skinny layer of olive oil, close the lid and freeze.
Also, if you really are going to freeze the Guacamole, avoid adding any onions. Whenever you decide to take it, thaw it and chop onions to add into the mixture.
