Recipe Notes:
- Ripe Avocados: Ensure your avocados are ripe but not overly soft. They should yield slightly to gentle pressure.
- Garlic Love: Adjust the amount of garlic to your preference. If you’re a garlic aficionado, feel free to add an extra clove for an extra kick!
- Lime or Lemon: Fresh citrus juice not only adds zing but also helps prevent the avocados from browning.
- Tomato Optional: While tomatoes add a lovely texture and flavor, you can omit them if you prefer a smoother guacamole or if tomatoes aren’t in season.
- Immediate Enjoyment: Guacamole is best enjoyed fresh. If you happen to have leftovers (highly unlikely!), store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator, but consume within a day for the best flavor and texture.
