Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces ripe avocados
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 0.25 cups red onion, finely diced
- 0.25 cups fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 piece jalapeño, finely diced (optional)
- 1 piece Roma tomato, diced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
- 0.75 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt (to prevent browning)
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
Immediately pour the lime juice over the avocado to prevent browning as you work.
Mash the avocados with a fork or potato masher to your desired level of smoothness (chunky or creamy).
Add the red onion, cilantro, jalapeño (if using), tomato, and garlic to the bowl, mixing gently until combined.
Season the mixture with cumin and salt, adjusting to taste.
Stir in the Greek yogurt thoroughly. This not only adds a slight creaminess but also helps maintain the green color of the guacamole.
Transfer the guacamole to a serving dish. To further prevent browning, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole before covering the dish with a lid or additional wrap.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, veggie sticks, or as a topping for your favorite dishes.
