"Lemon Juice Or Not?"
Some people add lemon or lime juice to their guacamole dip recipe. In some cases people do it to keep the guacamole from turning brown. We felt it changed the flavor too much. We chose not to disguise that wonderful avocado flavor and instead made our guacamole more frequently.
You can also try leaving the avocado pits in the guacamole to help keep the dip from turning brown. Just remember to remove them before serving.
Try making guacamole with and without lemon and see what you like better. Don't be afraid to experiment a little with this guacamole dip recipe. But after you try it both ways I will wager that you will choose to make it without the lemon or lime juice.
Here is a little tip. If your guacamole does turn a little brown after sitting out a while you can just skim off the top layer and it will be just as good as new. It's the exposure to air that turns it brown, the same way a sliced apple turns brown when left out.
This guacamole dip recipe is an absolute must for chicken fajitas as well as the top of your enchiladas, inside your tacos or enjoy it all by itself with chips!
