# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The creamy guacamole meets bright, fresh pico de gallo for a texture and flavor combination nobody can resist
  • It comes together in about 20 minutes but tastes like something from a serious Mexican restaurant
  • Everything can be prepped ahead, so you are actually free to enjoy the party instead of being stuck in the kitchen
02 -
  • Avocados oxidize and turn brown quickly once cut, so lime juice is essential for both flavor and keeping that vibrant green color
  • The pico de gallo should be added right before serving, because if it sits too long the tomatoes release water and make the guacamole soggy
  • Mashing the avocados while slightly chunky instead of perfectly smooth gives a much better texture and eating experience
03 -
  • Use the back of a fork to mash the avocado against the side of the bowl for better control over texture
  • Let the guacamole sit for 10 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together perfectly
