What ingredients are in authentic guacamole?

Authentic guacamole requires 3 ripe avocados, 1/4 cup diced yellow onion, 1 roma tomato diced, 2 garlic cloves minced, the juice of 1 lime (about 2 tablespoons), 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt or flaky sea salt, and 1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro. An optional jalapeno pepper finely diced can be added for heat.

How do you pick ripe avocados for guacamole?

Select avocados that are firm but yield slightly to gentle pressure, with dark, pebbly skin. Avoid avocados with large sunken soft spots, which indicate bruising. To speed up ripening at home, place them in a brown paper bag with a banana or apple overnight.

How do you keep guacamole from turning brown?

Store leftover guacamole in an airtight container. Squeeze extra lime juice on top, then press a piece of plastic wrap directly against the surface to eliminate air before sealing. An alternate method is covering the guacamole with a thin layer of cold water; dump the water and stir before serving.

How long does homemade guacamole last in the fridge?

Homemade guacamole is best consumed within one to two days when stored properly in an airtight container. Even with careful storage, the color may darken slightly due to oxidation, but the dip will remain safe to eat if kept refrigerated.
