Homemade Fresh Guacamole – the BEST homemade guacamole you will ever taste!!!
Summer = guacamole ….. right?!
Fresh Guacamole
Homemade guacamole is honestly one of my favorite things to make in the entire world. I love avocados (duh) and the just love building the flavors and tasting them as they come together, trying to find that perfect combination of chunky avocado, light and crisp tomatoes, a bite of garlic and onion, and then the lime and salt …. and lots of cilantro. Everyone has a personal preference as to how those flavors come together, but thats what I love about it. Taste as you go and adjust accordingly!
How to Pick Ripe Avocado
I pick mine out strictly by feel – you should be able to just barely squeeze them (gently). If you can’t squeeze them at all – put them back. If they feel mushy and are soft even to the slightest touch – put them back. If you very gently squeeze them and they have a little give, but still feel firm I would grab them!
How to Ripen Avocado
Simply place them in a brown paper bag along with an apple to speed up the ripening process!
