Fresh ingredients are the key to a delicious guacamole dip. Choose avocadoes that give slightly when pressed with the thumb this signals peek ripeness. Avoid avocados that are rock hard or are mushy to the touch (check out the full how to choose avocados guide). Cilantro should not appear wilted, and jalapeno pepper should appear deep green with no bruising.

A flavorful addition to guacamole is seeded and chopped Roma tomatoes.

Use caution when working with jalapeno peppers. Wash your hands immediately or wear gloves to avoid eye irritation caused by accidentally rubbing your eyes.

Make your guacamole on the same day you plan to serve it. Prolonged refrigeration will cause the dip to become discolored.

Guacamole is more than a chip dip. Spread it over a whole-grain tortilla and top with shredded chicken, low-fat grated cheese, and salsa for a delicious and nutritious lunch.
