Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados, diced
- 2 large carrots, grated
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 medium tomatoes, sliced
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- Fresh coriander leaves for garnish
Directions
Step 1: Prepare Avocados
Cut the avocados in half, remove the seeds, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
Step 2: Mash Avocado
Use a fork or potato masher to mash the avocados to your desired consistency. Some people prefer chunky guacamole, while others like it smoother.
Step 3: Add Grated Carrots
Add the grated carrots to the bowl. This adds a sweet and crunchy texture to the guacamole. Mix the grated carrots into the avocado mixture, ensuring an even distribution.
Step 4: Add Sliced Onions
Add the sliced onions to the bowl. Red onions are recommended for their mild flavor, but you can use your preference. Mix the sliced onions into the avocado mixture, making sure they are well incorporated.
Step 5: Add Sliced Tomatoes
Gently fold in the sliced tomatoes. The tomatoes add juiciness and freshness to the guacamole. Carefully mix the tomatoes into the guacamole. Be gentle to avoid crushing the tomatoes completely.
Step 6: Add Salt
Sprinkle the salt over the mashed avocados. Start with a teaspoon and adjust according to your taste preferences. Mix the salt into the mashed avocados thoroughly. This helps distribute the salt evenly.
Step 7: Add Lemon Juice
Pour the lemon juice over the guacamole. This not only adds a zesty flavor but also helps prevent the avocados from browning.
Step 8: Final Mix
Thoroughly mix all the ingredients one final time to ensure a consistent and well-combined guacamole.
Step 9: Garnish with Coriander Leaves
Sprinkle fresh coriander leaves over the top for a burst of herbal flavor and a vibrant appearance.
Serve
Serve the guacamole immediately with tortilla chips, as a topping for tacos, or alongside your favorite Mexican dishes.
Enjoy your homemade guacamole bursting with fresh flavors and textures!
