Notes
*If desired, fresh ingredients can be substituted for some of the seasonings here. Use 1 tablespoon of fresh chopped cilantro instead of dried, 1 tablespoon of finely minced red or white onion, or chopped green onion instead of onion powder, 1/2 of a tomato chopped instead of tomato powder, 1/2 clove of minced garlic instead of garlic powder, 1/2 to 1 teaspoon minced jalapeño pepper instead of cayenne.
**If you won’t be serving the guacamole immediately, it’s best to add in the citrus juice, which will help slow any discoloration of the avocado. You can use bottled or fresh citrus juice. If you don’t have any though, don’t worry. You can get that citrus flavor from a pinch of crystallized lime, like True Lime, or from two pinches of lemon pepper, ground coriander, or sumac, all of which have delicious citrus flavors.
