PRO TIPS

What to keep in mind.

6 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.

1
Use a fork to mash the avocados, leaving some chunks for a pleasing texture.
2
Add the lime juice immediately after mashing to slow down browning.
3
Seed the jalapeño and tomato to control heat and prevent a watery guacamole.
4
Let the guacamole rest for 5 minutes after mixing to allow flavors to meld.
5
Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface before refrigerating to reduce oxidation.
6
For best results, serve within a few hours of making – it loses vibrancy overnight.
