Treat your ingredients with care...

• Avocados — Choose ripe avocados that yield to gentle pressure when squeezed. If they are not ripe enough, place them in a paper bag for a day or two to speed up the ripening process.
• Fresh herbs — Use fresh herbs for the best flavor. If you don't have access to fresh herbs, you can substitute with dried herbs, but reduce the amount by half.

Tips & Tricks

• For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a finely chopped chili pepper.
• To prevent the guacamole from turning brown, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the dip before refrigerating.
• Serve with traditional Dutch snacks like bitterballen or as a topping for open-faced sandwiches.

Serving advice

Serve the Dutch-inspired Guacamole with a variety of Dutch snacks such as cheese cubes, mini sausages, or vegetable sticks. It also makes a delicious spread for bread or as a topping for burgers.

Presentation advice

Garnish the guacamole with a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a drizzle of olive oil, or a few tomato slices to enhance its visual appeal. Serve it in a decorative bowl or on a wooden platter to add a touch of elegance to your presentation.
