Expert Tips
  • Be sure to use ripe avocados! According to the Hass Avocado Board, the best way to tell if fresh avocados are ripe is if they yield to gentle pressure. It shouldn't be mushy, but not hard either.
  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best results.
  • Mash the avocados first before adding the other ingredients. I suggest doing this with a fork and don't overdo it. It should have some texture.
  • Finely dice the red onion and roma tomatoes so they mix more cohesively with the avocado.
  • It can be easy to add too much salt. So start with a little and add more to taste as needed.
  • Use fresh lime or lemon juice instead of bottled. It makes a big difference in giving the end product the best flavor.
Storage
  • Refrigerator - store leftover guacamole in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. To prevent browning, add an extra squeeze of lemon or lime juice to the top of the guacamole. 
Dietitian Tip
If you like your guacamole extra creamy, add a spoonful of Greek yogurt! This makes it creamier and adds some protein, too!
