Make Zippy Guacamole Recipe with Salsa Fresca Pico De Gallo On Top
Smash The Avocado To Make The Guacamole
To start the guacamole, slice open your avocado removing the avocado pit and skin. Place in a medium bowl and smash together with a fork until you achieve a creamy texture with no large chunks.
Season The Guacamole Layer
Brighten the avocado flavor by adding a juicy squeeze of lime and fresh herbs. Splash about half a teaspoon of freshly squeezed lime juice and season with pinches of coarse salt and cracked pepper. Sprinkle in a tablespoon of freshly minced cilantro. Stir together until evenly combined and set aside.
Now you’ve created a basic homemade guacamole.
Make A Quick Salsa Fresca For The Guacamole
In a separate bowl combine diced vine ripe tomato with chopped red onion. Sprinkle in minced cilantro and add the fresh squeezed lime juice.
Sprinkle with pinches of coarse salt and pepper. Stir to combine and taste to adjust seasonings as desired. This makes an easy, fresh, and chunky type of salsa perfect for topping off that creamy guacamole.
Additionally, at this point you might add in a small diced jalapeño (or even hotter habanero pepper) to stir into the tomato salsa if you want to make it spicy.
Transfer To A Serving Dish
Using a spatula, transfer the guacamole mixture to a small wide serving bowl. Use the flat part of your spatula to smooth down the guacamole to an even layer to create a bed for the salsa layer.
