Ingredient Notes
Ripe Hass Avocado: I used 2 large hass avocados. If you can only find little ones, no worries! You will just need 3 small ones. It should equal about 2 cups of avocado.
Jalapeño: Jalapeño adds spice and freshness. Be sure to chop the jalapeño up super fine so there are no big spicy chunks. The amount I recommend in the recipe will be medium spicy, so add more or less depending on your spice preference.
Spring Onion: Since this guacamole recipe is made without cilantro, I add a whole spring onion. Not only for flavor, but it adds the freshness that cilantro usually adds to guacamole.
Lime Juice: The juice of a whole lime rounds it all out. I used a whole fresh lime here, but I also love Santa Cruz bottled lime juice.
Step by Step Instructions
Step 1. First, finely chop the spring onion and jalapeño.
Step 2. Then, combine avocado, jalapeño, spring onion, lime juice and salt in a bowl. Mash with a spoon or fork until it is your desired consistency.

Recipe FAQs
First, scoop any leftovers into a container that has a tight fitting lid.
Then, take a piece of plastic wrap and place it directly on top of the guacamole inside the container. Press the plastic onto the guacamole so that as little air can get to it as possible.
Finally, place the lid on top and store in the fridge for up to two days.
The brown is just the fruit oxidizing which is completely natural and won't hurt you. It's just like when you chop an apple ahead of time and it turns brown on the outside. So by all means, eat the brown guacamole!
I love to use spring onion instead of cilantro. You still get the herby freshness, with no soapy cilantro flavor.
Expert Recipe Tips
Be sure to use ripe avocados! If your avocados are hard, wait a couple of days. No amount of smashing will make them into a creamy and delicious 4 ingredient guacamole. Trust me!
And chop the jalapeño and spring onion as finely as you can so you don't get any big chunks of spice or onion.
