4 medium ripe avocados (peeled and pitted)

1 jalapeno (seeded, deveined, diced (more or less to taste)

1/3 cup finely diced red onion (soaked for 10 minutes, patted dry)

2 garlic cloves (minced)

3-4 tablespoons fresh lime juice

3 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro (measure chopped)

3/4 teaspoon kosher salt or sea salt (plus more to taste)

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1 Roma tomato (seeded, chopped)

Pepper to taste

Instructions

Mash avocados in a medium bowl to desired consistency. Fold in all remaining ingredients. Taste and add additional lime juice or salt to taste. Serve immediately.

TO STORE: cover guacamole with plastic wrap, pressing the plastic so it is touching the top of the guacamole to prevent browning; refrigerate until ready to serve. Bring to room temperature before serving. For longer storage, cover the top of the guac with a thin layer of water before pressing the plastic wrap on top – pour off water before serving. The guacamole is so dense it won’t absorb the water.
