Notes

Storage tips: this dip is best when enjoyed right away since avocados naturally tend to brown when in contact with ambient air. If you have extra dip and want to store for later, then here is what you can do to avoid browning:
1- add an extra squeeze of lime juice over the surface of the guacamole (will limit oxidation).
2- place a saran wrap (plastic cling) right over the guac touching its surface (limits contact with ambient air). Enjoy leftovers within 3 days.
You can easily adjust this recipe to your taste: add spices (cumin, chili powder), hemp seeds for an extra boost in plant-based protein, more garlic, swap the fresh herbs, etc. Check out the blog post for more ideas!
You can make your dip as chunky vs smooth as you want! For a smooth dip, then process for longer, but for a chunkier result, then pulse a few times just to break up the ingredients.
