Notes

For the best flavour, use ripe avocados that yield slightly when gently pressed. Enjoy the guacamole fresh, as avocados are naturally rich in healthy fats and fibre, making this dip both delicious and nourishing.
Use perfectly ripe avocados for the best flavour and texture. They should feel slightly soft when gently pressed, creating a guacamole that's naturally creamy, satisfying, and packed with healthy fats and fibre.
