4-Ingredient Guacamole Recipe
This might just be your new go-to guac! This easy, simple, unfussy guacamole is SO full of flavor with just 4 ingredients. It doesn't need any more than that!
Ingredients
- 4 medium ripe avocados*
- 2 medium garlic cloves grated or finely minced
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice from 1-2 lemons
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste
Equipment
- Microplane zester for garlic; optional
- Citrus juicer for lemon; optional
- Knife
- Medium bowl
- Masher or fork
Instructions
- Slice the avocados in half lengthwise then press up under the side with the pit to pop the pit up. Discard the pit.
- Using a spoon, scoop the avocado from its shell into a medium bowl. Grate the garlic directly over the avocado or finely mince it on a cutting board and transfer it to the bowl with the avocados. Add the lemon juice and salt.
- Mash it with a fork or a potato masher until it's the consistency you like - chunky or smooth, your preference!
- Taste and add more garlic, lemon, or salt if you like.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Notes
* If you have large or small avocados, 3 large avocados should work, or 5-6 small.
