Lime salt, to taste
How to Make the Perfect Authentic Guacamole:
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and gently scoop out the flesh with a spoon.
Place the avocado in a mortar or bowl. Add lime salt, black pepper, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
Use a pestle (or fork) to mash the avocado. Leave some chunks for a satisfying texture.

Try not to put it on everything!
Spread on toast, add to tacos, serve with shrimp or grilled veggies.
Scoop it up with nachos… or just eat it straight with a spoon.
Cooking Notes
This recipe only works with perfectly ripe avocados. They should be soft but not mushy. Don’t aim for a smooth purée. Leave it chunky. That’s what makes it so good!
