Simple Guacamole

1. Prepare Avocados

Start by taking your knife and carefully cutting through the skin of two medium ripe avocados until you reach the pit. Twist the halves in opposite directions to separate them and remove the pit using your hands. Once the avocados are halved and pitted, grab a spoon and gently scoop out the vibrant green flesh into a bowl.

2. Mash Avocados

With the avocados in the bowl, it's time to mash them. Using a fork or a potato masher, press down on the avocado flesh. The goal here is to create a creamy texture while still leaving a few small chunks for that classic guacamole feel. Mashing releases the natural oils, giving your guacamole its delightful richness.

3. Add Garlic and Salt

Next, stir in one finely chopped garlic clove and half a teaspoon of salt. Use a spoon to combine everything thoroughly. Taste the mixture, and if necessary, add a little more salt to suit your preference.

4. Store or Serve

If you’re not serving the guacamole immediately, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to minimize air exposure, and refrigerate for a few hours at most. This will help maintain its vibrant color and fresh taste. Enjoy your simple and delicious guacamole!
