Base Guacamole
- 4 avocados, pitted
- Juice of ½ a lemon
- Juice of ½ a lime
- 1/4 cup diced red onion
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, plus extra for topping
Add-ins
- 1 ear grilled corn, cut off the cob
- 1/3 cup cherries, pitted and chopped
- 1/3 cup blueberries
- 1/2 cup chopped strawberries
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta, plus extra for topping
To Serve
- Lime wedges
- Your favorite tortilla chips
- Prepare the Guacamole Base: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the pitted avocados, lemon juice, lime juice, diced red onion, and salt. Mash the mixture with a fork or potato masher until you reach your desired guacamole consistency, whether chunky or smooth.
- Fold in the Summer Add-ins: Carefully add the chopped cilantro, grilled corn kernels, chopped cherries, blueberries, strawberries, and crumbled feta cheese to the mashed avocado. Fold gently to combine, taking care not to break up the berries too much to maintain their visual appeal and texture. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt if needed.
- Serve and Garnish: Transfer the loaded guacamole to a serving bowl. Top with extra chopped cilantro, a tablespoon or two of crumbled feta, and garnish with lime wedges on the side. Serve immediately with your favorite tortilla chips for dipping.
Notes
- Grill the corn in advance until slightly charred to add a smoky flavor to the guacamole.
- Use ripe but firm avocados to achieve the best texture.
- Handle the berries gently to keep their shape and avoid turning the guacamole pink.
- This guacamole is best enjoyed fresh, but it can be stored in an airtight container for up to 1 day in the refrigerator.
- For a dairy-free version, omit the feta or substitute with a vegan cheese alternative.
