Ingredients
- 3 ripe avocados
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (or lime juice if you have it)
- ½ tsp salt, plus more to taste
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp hot sauce (optional but recommended)
1. Halve the avocados, remove the stones, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
2. Add the minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and hot sauce if using.
3. Mash everything together with a fork. For a chunkier guacamole, leave some larger pieces of avocado. For a smoother result, mash more thoroughly.
4. Taste and adjust seasoning — it likely needs a little more salt. Add an extra squeeze of lemon if it needs brightness.
5. Serve immediately, or press a piece of cling film directly onto the surface of the guacamole to prevent browning and refrigerate for up to an hour before serving.
