Creating a Perfect Guacamole
Tips for getting it right, every single time.
While we consider ourselves Mexican food experts, we’re not the authority when it comes to defining the perfect flavor, texture and spice level of your guacamole. Like everything else on your menu, it’s simply a matter of personal preference.
What we can share, however, is our formula for creating the perfect balance of flavor. Use it to lean into traditional guacamole ingredients or choose your own adventurous combination (because you’ll never stop looking for simple twists on everyday dishes).
Let’s Get Started
Making the perfect guacamole is easy. For every two pounds of hand-scooped avocado, mix in two cups of the categories below.
You’ll love how you can use everyday pantry items in new and unexpected ways. Just be sure to pick an ingredient from each column — sweet, sour, bitter, salty and umami — for an overall balanced dish.
