Cook's notes
- Use ripe avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure for the creamiest texture.
- Adjust the chili powder to your heat preference—add more for extra spice or omit for a milder dip.
- For best flavor, let the guacamole chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Frequently asked
Can I use lime juice instead of lemon?
Yes, lime juice is a classic substitute and adds a slightly different citrus note that pairs beautifully with avocado.
What if I don't have seasoning salt?
You can replace it with regular salt plus a pinch of garlic powder and onion powder.
How can I keep guacamole from turning brown?
Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole to minimize air exposure, or add a thin layer of lemon juice on top before sealing.
