The Best Recipe For Homemade Guacamole
There are countless ways to make everyone’s favorite avocado dip, but this is the Best Guacamole Recipe I’ve tasted. Thanks to a combination of fresh ingredients, herbs, and spices, this version is packed with irresistible flavor.
Better yet, it’s a tasty addition to simple breakfast, lunch, and dinner recipes. I like subbing it for sour cream since it’s just as satisfying but it’s loaded with nutrition (and deliciousness!).
Whether you spread it on your avocado toasts, sandwiches, or put a dollop on your Taco Salad, avocado adds healthy creaminess to so many simple dishes.

Ingredients For Homemade Guacamole
Red Onion
Garlic Clove
Ripe Avocados
Roma Tomatoes
Cilantro
Jalapeno Pepper
Lime
Olive Oil
Kosher Salt
Dried Oregano
How To Make Guacamole
1. Begin by dicing red onion and garlic and place in a small bowl. Add cold water and soak for 5 minutes. This will help to take the bite out of the two raw ingredients and make it more pleasing to the palate. Once soaked, drain water and pat dry.
2. In a food processor, combine onion, garlic, avocados, tomatoes, cilantro, jalapeno, lime, olive oil, and salt. Rub oregano through hands while adding simultaneously dropping it in a food processor. You want to rub hard enough that it will release some of its juices during the action. Don’t be shy with this, it’s what brings such a great flavor.
3. Pulse the food processor until the mixture reaches the desired consistency. You can choose to leave it as a chunky avocado salsa or as a creamy avocado dip. Taste a little of the guacamole with a chip and adjust salt and cilantro as desired.
4. Serve this great guacamole recipe in a large bowl (to make sure there’s room for dipping!) and enjoy!
Rebecca’s Guacamole Tips
If you don’t like the flavor of cilantro, you can choose to omit completely or substitute with another herb such as parsley.
You can choose to mash avocados by hand with a potato masher, especially if you love very chunky guacamole. I like creamier guacamole, so the food processor achieves this consistency and saves a little bit of time.
You may add more jalapeno seeds if you prefer your guacamole to be a little spicier. A sprinkle of red pepper flakes will also add an extra kick.
Be sure to save the avocado pit, since dropping it into the leftovers can also help.
How To Store Guacamole
Guacamole can last 1 to 2 days in the refrigerator. However, as any avocado fan knows, it turns brown when exposed to oxygen for too long.
The good news is, there are a couple of tricks to help prevent this from happening. While the recipe calls for lime juice, adding a squeeze of lemon juice before storing helps preserve guacamole.
You’ll want to make sure it’s stored in an airtight container or a bowl that’s tightly covered with plastic wrap. When you’re ready to eat it, just scrape any brown color off the top and give it a good mix.
Is Guacamole Gluten-Free?
Yes! This Guac Recipe is made with gluten-free ingredients and is a wonderful snack or condiment option for those with sensitivities.
Serve guacamole dip with veggie sticks and/or gluten-free corn chips and crackers for a diet-friendly option.
