Ina Garten Guacamole Ingredients
- 4 ripe Haas avocados
- 3 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice (from about 1 lemon)
- 8 dashes of Tabasco sauce
- ½ cup of finely chopped red onion (approximately 1 small onion)
- 1 large garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon of kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
- 1 medium tomato, seeded and finely chopped
How To Make Ina Garten Guacamole
- Halve the avocados and remove the pits. Scoop out the flesh into a large bowl.
- Immediately add the lemon juice, Tabasco sauce, chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the avocado.
- Use a sharp knife to carefully chop the avocado directly in the bowl, creating a chunky texture.
- Stir in the chopped tomato, mixing everything well.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve the dip at room temperature with your choice of corn chips.
What To Eat With Guacamole
Ina Garten recommends serving this guacamole dip with yellow or blue corn chips, but my suggestion is to try eating it with sliced baguettes, pita bread, grilled chicken, or shrimp.
How To Keep Guacamole From Turning Brown
To keep guacamole from turning brown, try pressing plastic wrap directly onto the surface or adding a layer of lemon or lime juice.
How Long Does Guacamole Last In The Fridge
Properly stored guacamole can last in the fridge for up to 3 days, assuming it’s kept in an airtight container and refrigerated promptly.
How Long Does Guacamole Last In The Freezer
Technically, you can freeze guacamole for up to 3 months, but it’s not always a good idea. The texture will change, and it won’t be as fresh, so try not to freeze it.
How To Tell If Guacamole Is Bad
You can tell if guacamole is bad if it has a sour or off smell, visible mold, or a slimy texture. If you notice any of these signs, do not eat it.
