🥘 Ingredients
All you need are the four ingredients below to make my guacamole recipe without cilantro!
- Avocado – 2 avocados are all you need to feed 4 people.
- Red Onion – A little red onion minced is all you need.
- Lime – You will want lime juice to add flavor and to slow the browning of the dip.
- Salt – Salt will help bring the flavors together.
🔪 Directions
First, Mince 2 tablespoons of red onion very fine. Place in a deep bowl. Then add ¾ of the lime juice.
Slice an avocado open, carefully remove pit, and scoop the flesh into the bowl with the red onion and lime juice. Sprinkle the salt on top and mash with a fork until desired consistency.
Drizzle the additional lime juice on top and enjoy immediately with chips.
FAQS
Here are a few of the most frequently asked questions.
Yes, my recipe for guacamole is vegan. It only contains avocados, lime, red onions, and cilantro.
Traditional guacamole does not contain garlic. Typical guacamole has avocado, lime, red onion, salt, and sometimes plum tomato, cilantro, and jalapeno for spice.
Guacamole is typically made of just more then mashed creamy avocado. You can eat it just as mashed guacamole but additional spices and vegetables will help elevate it.
The best way to keep guacamole from turning brown is by placing plastic wrap on top and pressing it into the guacamole so no air can touch the guacamole. It can be stored like this for up to a few hours before it begins to brown. I also like to squeeze additional lime juice on top before placing the plastic wrap.
I love to use the OXO Good Grips 3-in-1 Avocado Slicer. I can use one end to slice the avocado open, then use the u0022pitteru0022 to twist the avocado pit safely, then scoop the flesh out with the other end of the slicer OR simply scoop out with a spoon. 
If you only have one avocado you can still make this guacamole recipe with just one avocado. Simply follow this recipe but reduce the onion and lime to just one tablespoon and salt to ½ teaspoon.
