How do you make good guacamole?

Good guacamole depends on the quality of the ingredients:
– perfectly ripe avocados,

– and balanced seasoning.
Mash with a fork (not a blender) to keep some texture, and taste before serving so you can adjust the salt and lime juice.

Guacamole oxidizes quickly when exposed to air. To keep it for up to 24 hours in the refrigerator, smooth the surface, add a little lime juice on top, then cover with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface. You can also put it in a small, full airtight container, leaving no air inside.
