Tips for the Best Guacamole

Use ripe avocados – They should be slightly soft but not mushy when gently squeezed.

Prevent browning – If storing, press cling film directly onto the surface to minimise air exposure.

Customise it – Add a dash of cumin for warmth, extra chilli for heat, or swap red onion for spring onions.
