Recipe Notes

Quick Tips:

When I'm doing this fully-loaded version, I like to make a bigger batch. This is kind of a lot of work for just a little bit, so make it count!

I like to process the garlic and jalapeno pepper in a mini food processor to get a really fine mixture for these two ingredients.

Why Roma tomato? They tend to hold their shape and juices in better, so they can incorporate into the guacamole nicely without turning it into a sloshy mess. You can use another variety, but if it is an extra juicy tomato, you may want to remove the seeds to keep a good consistently for your dip.

Preservation tips (to prevent browning):

Add lemon juice to your guacamole mixture.

Place the pit in the center of your guac.

Keep in an air-tight plastic container until serving.

Place onion wedges on the top of the dip (remove right before serving).
Dress it Down:

Pick and choose whatever you don't have in your fridge or whatever you don't care for. This recipe is so flexible! Remember, straight up avocado with a little salt and pepper is delicious, too!
