→ Serving Suggestions

14 - Tortilla chips or fresh vegetable sticks for serving

# How-To Steps:

01 - Scoop avocado flesh into a mixing bowl. Add lime juice immediately to prevent browning. Using a fork, mash until creamy while maintaining some chunky texture for bite.
02 - Fold in red onion, minced jalapeño, chopped cilantro, kosher salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to incorporate evenly. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
03 - Combine diced tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and salt in a separate bowl. Stir gently to avoid crushing tomatoes.
04 - Spread seasoned guacamole in a shallow serving bowl, creating an even layer. Spoon salsa mixture evenly across the top surface. Garnish with additional fresh cilantro if desired.
05 - Present with tortilla chips or fresh vegetable sticks. For optimal freshness and color, serve promptly after assembly.

# Helpful Tips:

01 -
  • The dual layer presentation looks impressive but takes barely any extra effort
  • Fresh salsa on top keeps the guacamole vibrant and adds a perfect crunch
  • Makes enough for a real crowd without disappearing in the first five minutes
02 -
  • Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface if you need to make this more than an hour ahead
  • The salsa layer actually helps protect the guacamole from air exposure
  • Add the salt gradually since both the chips and salsa contribute their own sal
03 -
  • Use the back of a fork for mashing not a food processor which can turn it into a bitter paste
  • Room temperature avocados mash more easily and absorb seasonings better
