Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 large ripe avocados, halved and pitted
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice about 1 lime
  • 1/2 small red onion, finely diced
  • 1 Roma tomato, seeded and diced
  • 1 jalapeno, seeded and minced optional
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp salt plus more to taste
  • 1/4 tsp ground cumin optional

Method
 

  1. Scoop the ripe avocado flesh into a medium bowl and mash with a fork to your preferred texture, chunky or smooth.
  2. Add the lime juice right away and stir it through the avocado, which slows browning and brightens the flavor.
  3. Fold in the diced red onion, tomato, jalapeno, cilantro, and garlic.
  4. Season with salt and cumin, then taste and adjust with more lime juice or salt as needed.
  5. Serve immediately, or press plastic wrap directly onto the surface and refrigerate for up to 1 day.

Notes

This guacamole is completely alcohol-free and halal, built from avocados, lime juice, and fresh vegetables with no wine or wine-based seasoning. Store in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface for up to 1 day. For the best color and flavor, eat it the same day it is made.
