FAQs

1. How do I choose the perfect avocados for guacamole?

Select avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure. Avoid avocados that are too hard or too soft; they won't be ideal for creamy guacamole.

Add a tablespoon or two of water, lime juice, or even a little bit of your favorite salsa to thin it out to your desired consistency.
