Guacamole is one of the most delicious dips in the entire world. Not only can it be found in restaurants across the globe, but this Mexican staple is often made at home as well. If you’ve never made a homemade guacamole recipe and would like to start, here’s something you need to remember that will ensure you get good results.

The Most Important Part

We could sit here and talk about the different seasonings you can add (such as salt and pepper), or the various vegetables to add (such as onions and tomatoes). But we’d like to talk about something more important: the avocado itself.

Timing Is Everything

If you get the avocado part right, the rest will just fall into place. The key is to making sure that it’s the exact perfect level of ripeness when you start. It can’t be too solid because then you won’t be able to mash it up properly. It also can’t be too soft because then it’ll be rotten in certain places and it won’t taste good.

Texture Control

But you’re still not out of the woods. It’s also crucial that you exercise complete control over the texture. Some people like guacamole that’s insanely smooth with no clumps at all. We personally like it when it’s a little bit more chunky, but you won’t be able to achieve that if you mash it to oblivion. Indeed, you must be very conscious of how much you’re mashing it throughout the process. Make sure to mash it lightly enough to retain its chunkiness while also preserving the smoothness.

Sure, chips and dip are a classic and there’s nothing like the saltiness and crunch of tortillas with guacamole, but there are so many other delicious foods you can enjoy with dips. And we’re not just talking about salty things—sweet ones compliment guac as well. We’re not saying to give up chips, but if you’re looking for delicious alternatives, these five foods are super tasty.

Veggies

Veggies give the much-needed crunch without adding too much salt and they’re an excellent low-calorie alternative to chips. Bell peppers, cucumbers, carrots, celery, and broccoli are some of our favorite veggies with guacamole.

Fruits

Fruit is an unusual pairing with guacamole, but don’t knock it until your try it! Pineapple slices, pears, cantaloupe, honeydew, and apples are a nice sweetness and crunch to guac.

Shrimp

Cooked shrimp, like the ones you use to dip in cocktail sauces, are great for dipping in guac.

Crackers and Breadsticks

Cracker and breadsticks with oats and seeds are a great alternative to chips and they’ll add even more flavor.

Pretzels

Pretzels are pretty much chips’ cousin, so of course they would taste great with guacamole.

Do you love guacamole? While you may think you’ve nailed the perfect gauc, the are ways to make it even better. Say goodbye to greenish-gray gauc that’s seasoned with the fruit-shaped bottles of lime juice, and hello to fresh quac. Here are some tips for nailing guacamole.

Choose the Best Avocados

If you’re avocados aren’t ripe enough, they won’t have the right taste or texture and if they’re too ripe, the flavor can take over the whole guacamole. Look for avocados with dark green skin and give them a squeeze before buying them.

Avocado First, Then Veggies

Before adding your diced ingredients, mash you avocado to your desired consistency. Then add red onion, jalapeño, tomatoes, onions, garlic, cilantro, and lightly stir.

Right Onion

While traditional guacamole uses sweet white onion, red onions will give your guac a more oniony bite and yellow onions are best with sweeter guacs.

Fresh Lime Juice

A small quirt of lime goes a long way in guac and it slows down the browning of it. Make sure you use fresh limes and before using them, roll them on the counter to get the most out of them.

Switch Up the Ingredients

Start with the basic ingredients like avocados, tomatoes, onions, garlic, cilantro, salt, lime, and jalapeno and then try adding pineapple, mango, orange, or pomegranate seeds for a fruity option.
