Ingredients and substitutions:

• Ripe avocados - avocados are full of healthy fats and are used to make this creamy guacamole. Be sure to use ripe, soft avocados. Hard, unripe avocados won't work.
• White onion - to add flavour and a little crunch and texture to this guacamole recipe.
• Fresh cilantro - cilantro adds a delicious Mexican inspired flavour to this chunky dip. If you don't like cilantro you can simply omit it from the recipe.
• Fresh lime juice - to give it flavour and more creaminess. The citrus juice also helps the guacamole stay fresher for longer when stored in the fridge.
• Lime zest - this gives this dip even more delicious flavour.
• Roma Tomatoes - fresh tomatoes adds more flavour and texture to this delicious guac.
• Seasonings and spices - ground cumin, sea salt and ground black pepper are used to perfectly flavour this Mexican dip.
• Garlic - a little crushed garlic gives this dip the most amazing flavour.

How to make (step-by-step):

Step one:

First, cut the avocados in half and save the pits for later. Scoop the flesh into a large bowl and add the lime zest, lime juice, cumin, sea salt and pepper and mash the ingredients together until the avocado is smooth (or the consistency you desire - I prefer to leave a few chunks).

Step two:

Add the remaining ingredients and stir everything together. Then serve and enjoy!

Top tips:

• Save the pits from the avocados! If you have any leftover guacamole you can add these to it to help it from turning as brown in the fridge.
• If you let the guacamole sit in the fridge for an hour before serving the flavours become even more bold.

Recipe variations and add ins:

• Feel free to add other spices such as seasoning salt, red pepper flakes or chili pepper.
• If you like it spicier add some finely chopped jalapeño pepper or Serrano pepper.
• If you don't have white onion you could use green onion, red onion, or yellow onion instead.
• Feel free to add more or less onion, tomatoes, and cilantro depending on your taste preferences.
• Add a couple tablespoons of sour cream to make it even creamier and give it a different taste.
• If you are serving a large group feel free to double or triple the recipe.

How to serve:

You can use this guacamole in so many ways. Here are some of my favourite ways to enjoy it:

• Use it as a dip for tortilla chips or crackers.
• Use it as a dip for raw veggies such as broccoli, cauliflower, cucumber, bell peppers or celery.
• Use it as a topping for tacos, nachos, meat, or fish dishes to give them some extra flavour. I really like it on top of blackened cod or blackened mahi mahi.
• Add it to your salads for some extra flavour.

How to store:

Store leftover guacamole in the fridge in an airtight container, with at least one of the pits from the avocados to help prevent it from going brown. Guacamole is best eaten within two to three days.

Another tip to help prevent guacamole from going brown in the fridge is to add some lemon juice to it.
