Ingredients

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.
