Cook Time: -
Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 cup jicama, diced
- 1 cup strawberries, diced
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Start by preparing all your ingredients. Dice the jicama and strawberries into small, bite-sized pieces. Finely chop the red onion and cilantro. Set all ingredients aside.
- Cut the ripe avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Use a fork or a potato masher to mash the avocados to your desired consistency, whether smooth or chunky.
- Add the diced jicama and strawberries to the mashed avocado. Gently fold them in to combine, being careful not to mush the strawberries.
- Pour the freshly squeezed lime juice over the mixture. This will add flavor and help prevent the avocados from browning.
- Next, add the finely chopped red onion and cilantro to the bowl. Stir everything together until well combined.
- Season the guacamole with salt to taste. Start with a small pinch and add more if needed, mixing well after each addition.
- Once everything is well mixed and seasoned, taste the guacamole and adjust any ingredients as necessary, adding more lime juice or salt if desired.
- Transfer the Strawberry Jicama Lime Guacamole to a serving bowl. You can garnish it with additional cilantro or a few strawberry slices on top for presentation.
- Serve immediately with tortilla chips, fresh vegetables, or use it as a topping for tacos or salads. Enjoy your refreshing and unique guacamole!
Tips
- Choose perfectly ripe avocados: Look for avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure but aren't mushy.
- Dice ingredients uniformly for the best texture and even flavor distribution.
- Add strawberries and jicama just before serving to maintain their fresh crunch.
- Use fresh lime juice - bottled juice can't compare to the bright flavor of freshly squeezed.
- For best results, serve immediately after preparing to prevent browning and maintain optimal texture.
- If not serving right away, place plastic wrap directly on the surface of the guacamole to minimize oxidation.
- Experiment with the salt and lime juice to find your perfect balance of flavors.
- For extra presentation points, garnish with a few reserved strawberry slices or a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
