- - to make
- Serves 1
This makes 1 quart of dip.... Serve as an appetizer, or a party with friends!
Ingredients
- 4 Ripe avocados medium size shopping list
- 2 oz onion grated shopping list
- 1 Small, hot green chile such as jalapeño minced shopping list
- 1 oz lime or lemon juice shopping list
- 1 oz olive oil shopping list
- to taste --- salt shopping list
- 12 oz fresh tomatoes (optional) shopping list
How to make it
- Pit and peel the avocados.
- Mash the pulp coarsely.
- The purée should be slightly lumpy rather than smooth.
- Mix in the onion, minced chile, lime or lemon juice, olive oil, and salt to taste.
- If desired, peel, seed, and dice the tomato and mix it into the avocado.
- Cover tightly with plastic wrap placed on the surface of the guacamole.
- This is to protect it from air, which will darken it.
- For the same reason, guacamole should not be made too long before serving time.
- Chill the guacamole until ready to serve.
- Notes:
- If fresh chiles are not available, use canned chiles or a few dashes of hot red pepper sauce.
- Variations:
- Sour Cream Avocado Dip
- Use 1 oz onion.
- Omit the olive oil and tomato.
- Mash the avocado to a smooth purée. Add 1/2-3/4 pint sour cream.

Have a daughter who loves this stuff. Will have to make a batch. I have been lazy and have been buying it pre-made. (I didn't like the store bought much.) I think she would like the sour cream version.
