The Simple Swap For Ridiculously Good Guacamole

NEWS

By ANN MEYER
Guacamole consists of avocado, cilantro, garlic, tomato, onion, salt, lime juice, and sometimes fresh jalapeños, but pickled jalapeños can be a more superior and convenient choice.
The brininess of pickled jalapeños enhances the dip's flavor, providing balanced acidity and subtle spiciness. They require less prep and are easier to incorporate into the dip.
Simply slice the pickled jalapeños and mix them into the dip, using the same amount as you would fresh ones. Add more as you like to suit your preferred spice level.
Since the pickling brine contains salt and vinegar, you likely won't need any additional salt or lime juice, which would just overwhelm your taste buds.
