- Before I dive into today's video,
I just have to say wow.
We just hit 100,000 subscribers on this channel
which has completely blown me away.
And I'll have a lot more to say about that in
next week's video which will be a 100,000 subscriber
celebration video, and FAQ video and a Vitamix giveaway.
So stay tuned for that.
But let's chat about today's recipe.
Today we are whipping up my favorite dip
of all time and that's guacamole.
Many people have said that my guacamole recipe
is the best guacamole that they've ever had
and who am I to disagree?
So I'm happy to share that recipe with you today.
Now if you follow me on Instagram stories
you've seen a little bit of the behind the scenes
and what I've called hashtag guacwatch
which was a little experiment on how to keep
leftover guacamole and avocados green
and prevent them from turning brown.
And I am happy to share those kitchen hacks
and tips with you today as well.
So let's dive in.
All right, so my first tip is when you're buying avocados
make sure that the stem is still attached
because if someone else has already picked off the stem
in the store, it's more likely that that avocado
will have brown spots on the inside.
So we'll start with three avocados
and use a large knife to slice them in half
and remove the pit.
Then use a large spoon to scoop out the flesh into a bowl.

Next we'll add the juice of one fresh lime
and then a fork to mash it all together with the avocados.
And I actually use a serving fork as
it's a bit bigger and easier to mash with.
Now we'll add a few other ingredients to our mashed avocados
and that includes half of a small onion that we'll dice up,
along with two Roma tomatoes and a jalapeno pepper.
When it comes to the Roma tomatoes,
you wanna remove the seeds so that your guacamole
doesn't become watery and as you'll see
I just use my finger to scrape out the seeds.

Lastly we'll mince up two garlic cloves and add those
along with three to four tablespoons of chopped cilantro
and a half a teaspoon of salt.
Then all that's left to do is stir it all together
and of course take a test bite or two.

But I also promised to show you my favorite avocado hack
which prevents them from going brown and it's so simple.
Just add a little bit of cold water to a
storage container or plate and place the avocado
cut side down before placing it in the fridge.
24 hours later your avocado will still be vibrant green.
Now here's the cool part.
This concept can also be used for guacamole.
So if you have leftover guacamole,
which I know is unlikely to happen but just in case,
you can place that in a storage container
and then pat it down with a spoon so that you've got
a nice solid seal on top.
Then add enough cold water so that it
completely covers the top and place it in the fridge.
When you're ready to eat it the next day
just pour the water off and give it a stir
for perfectly green guacamole.
