→ Serving Suggestions

14 - Tortilla chips or fresh vegetable sticks for serving

# Directions:

01 - Cut avocados in half lengthwise, remove pits, and scoop flesh into a medium mixing bowl. Immediately drizzle with lime juice to prevent browning.
02 - Add diced red onion, minced jalapeño, chopped cilantro, kosher salt, and black pepper to the avocados. Mash with a fork or potato masher until creamy but still slightly chunky. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
03 - In a separate small bowl, combine diced tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Stir gently to combine without crushing the tomatoes.
04 - Transfer guacamole to a shallow serving dish and spread evenly. Top with fresh salsa, distributing it across the surface. Garnish with additional cilantro if desired. Serve immediately with tortilla chips or vegetable sticks.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The two-layer presentation makes it look like you tried way harder than you actually did
  • Fresh salsa on top keeps the guacamole from browning while everyone gathers around
  • You can prep everything ahead and assemble right before guests arrive
02 -
  • Avocado oxidation starts the second you cut into them, so work quickly and keep that lime juice handy
  • The salsa layer acts as a protective barrier, which is why this presentation actually works beyond just looking pretty
  • Salt your guacamole a little more generously than you think you should, avocados absorb seasoning like sponges
03 -
  • Leave one avocado slightly chunkier than the others, the texture variation keeps every bite interesting
  • Room temperature avocados mash more easily and absorb seasonings better than cold ones
