Some argue that using a blender makes guacamole runny and watery. But I omit tomatoes just for this reason and the guacamole in a blender turns out great; its taste and texture. If you prefer using tomatoes, remove as much of the tomato seeds and core as possible and add diced tomatoes at the end, after blending.
For a smoother texture, pulse all ingredients longer, until desired texture is achieved. For chunkier avocado in the guacamole, add avocado after blending all other ingredients and pulse until the desired texture of the avocado is achieved.

Ingredients
- Avocado: The foundation of our dish! Choose avocados that feel softer to the touch, when pressed slightly. But, avoid soft and mushy avocados- those will likely be overripe and brown inside. On the exterior, The avocado should be a darker green color. Bright green and firm avocados are not ready.
- Onion: Coarsely chopped (then blended) red onion adds a sharp, pungent flavor. You can also use finely chopped red onion as a garnish once the guacamole is ready to serve. I love to incorporate red onion into dishes such as this one and this Burrata Cheese with Marinated Mushrooms and Tomato Salsa or this Turmeric Couscous Salad Recipe.
- Fresh Cilantro: adds fresh flavor to the guacamole with its citrusy and slightly peppery notes.
- Lime Juice: adds acidity and tanginess. It also helps prevent the avocados from turning brown quickly.

Substitutions and variation
- Red Onion: Substitute red onion with finely diced white or yellow onion for a milder flavor.
- Fresh Cilantro: For a guacamole recipe without cilantro, you can substitute it with fresh parsley for a similar flavor.
- Fresh Lime Juice: Replace lime juice with lemon juice for a slightly different citrus flavor. If you prefer a milder acidity, you can use apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar instead.
- Add some spice: add a little Cajun seasoning or hot paprika for a little zing!
Preparation

Top Tips
- Select avocados that are ripe but not overly soft. They should yield slightly to gentle pressure when squeezed but still feel firm.
- Blend the ingredients in the blender until smooth for a creamy texture, or pulse briefly for chunkier guacamole, depending on your preference.
- Start with the recommended amount of salt and chili seasoning, then taste and adjust according to your preference. Start with a little and add more as needed.
- To prevent the guacamole from turning brown, cover it tightly with plastic wrap, ensuring the plastic is touching the surface of the guacamole to minimize air exposure. Alternatively, squeeze extra lime juice over the top before storing.
