Learn how to make the best guacamole! This authentic guacamole recipe turns out perfectly every time thanks to a few simple tricks. It's so easy! Recipe yields about 2 1/2 to 3 cups guacamole, depending on your avocados (divide or multiply as necessary).

## Ingredients (serves 2)

- 4 medium ripe avocados, halved and pitted
- ¼ cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 small jalapeño, seeds and ribs removed, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons lime juice (from about 1 ½ limes), or more if needed
- ¼ teaspoon ground coriander
- ½ cup finely chopped white onion (about ½ small onion)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, more to taste

## Steps

1. Halve and pit the avocados
2. Finely chop the white onion and cilantro
3. Remove seeds and ribs from the jalapeño, then finely chop
4. Using a spoon, scoop the flesh of the avocados into a low serving bowl, discarding any bruised, browned areas
5. Using a pastry cutter, potato masher, or fork, mash up the avocado until it reaches your desired texture
6. Promptly add the onion, cilantro, jalapeño, lime juice, coriander, and salt, then stir to combine
7. Taste and add additional salt until the flavors really sing
8. If it needs more zip, add a little more lime juice, or let it rest if it tastes too limey

## Good to know

### Swaps

- No jalapeño? Use a serrano pepper for similar heat, or leave it out for a milder dip.
- No fresh lime juice? Bottled lime juice works, though you may want to add a touch more to taste.

### Storing it

Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface and refrigerate for up to 1–2 days; the top may brown a little, which can be stirred in or scraped off.

### Making it ahead

Chop the onion, cilantro and jalapeño up to a day ahead and refrigerate, but mash and mix the avocado close to serving time to keep it from browning.
