Ingredients
2 whole ripe avocados
½ tsp kosher salt
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
1 handful fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
½ cup frozen corn (optional)
¼ cup diced red onion (optional)
1 tsp diced jalapeño peppers (optional)
1 cup diced grapes (optional)
Directions
Cut each avocado in half lengthwise around the pit. Twist the halves gently to separate them. Use a spoon to scoop the pit out, then carefully remove the flesh and place it into a medium mixing bowl.
Using a fork, gently mash the avocado to your preferred consistency—leave it slightly chunky for better texture rather than creamy.
Add the kosher salt and fresh lime juice to the mashed avocado. Stir gently until the lime and salt are evenly distributed throughout.
Taste and adjust salt or lime juice as needed. Serve immediately as a simple guacamole, or stir in any optional mix-ins: chopped cilantro, frozen corn, diced red onion, diced jalapeño, or diced grapes for a unique sweet twist.
Comments
Avocados, limes, cilantro, and jalapeños are stocked everywhere in Charlotte; corn and red onion are always available and cheap. The sweet twist with grapes is unusual but they're a standard produce item at any major chain. The 15-minute time is honest for chopping and mixing. This serves eight as a dip or side, making it a practical party dish or weeknight addition, though the grape element means it's best eaten fresh the same day—it won't improve after sitting. At roughly $1.50 to $2 per serving depending on avocado prices, it's a solid value for a make-ahead component, though avocado cost swings can shift the budget meaningfully.
