Easy Guacamole

Minced onion very fine pasted down the garlic then I mashed up avocados etc. etc. before I added, spoon by spoon and testing as I went, garlic and onion. Turned out really well. But go easy on the onion and garlic measurements. You can put it in but you can't take it out!

This was a perfect balance of flavor! I usually make guac "on the fly" but am using this recipe going forward. Only had one avocado so adjusted ingredients as follows. 1 ripe Hass avocado 1 Tbsp fine chop white onion ¼ tsp minced garlic SEE NOTE 1 ½ tsp kosher salt 1 Tbsp fresh lime juice SEE NOTE 2 ¼ tsp ground cumin 1/2 fresh jalapeño, fine chop 1 fresh small culantro leaf, fine chop (yes, Cu not Ci) SEE NOTE 3 NOTES: 1 - I use minced garlic in OLIVE OIL. Do not add additional salt to garlic as called for in recipe. 2 - I add about ⅔ of amount called for and then correct at the end as lime tartness can vary so much. 3 - CUlLANTRO is stronger than CILANTRO and grows broad leaves from base, not tall plant with small leaves.

Turned out ok, only had ~1.5 avocados, and used less than half of a big clove of garlic. I like garlic, but this was strong.

I used a small, hand-crank food processor to finely chop onion & garlic, but otherwise made as directed, and it was WAY too onion-y. Even admitting that using the food processor probably made the onion flavor stronger, I cannot imagine a universe where a 2:1 avocado:onion ratio makes sense for guacamole. What am I missing?

这是最好的鳄梨调味酱。我一直在the last two years and will not make another. The cumin is a great flavor boost. Be careful not to go heavy on the onions, but I do use 2-3 garlic cloves and a little extra lime juice. One complaint is measurements that call for "1 small onion" rather than an actual measurement.

Good. But it gets even better with a T or two of tomato chopped very fine.

I feel odd reviewing this, since I opted to skip the garlic and jalapenos and realized last minute that I didn't have cumin. That said, even with those ingredients missing, it was still a good basic recipe for guac. Given this was the first time I've ever made it, I really just wanted guidelines on ingredients and proportions. This was great. I like a saltier guac, so I added a little more salt than noted.

Absolutely delicious, just the right level of tanginess. Delicious served as an appetizer on top of a Miss Vickies jalapeño chip and pomegranate seeds.

One of my favourites. Try this, cumin makes it fantastic. I prefer to replace onion by chives. Green to green.

I left out the optional ingredients as I didn't have them. This recipe is the same as most simple guacamole recipes, except for the addition of cumin, which was quite pleasant.

This is Deeeelicious! I left out the jalepeno pepper and also half pureed the onions and avocado, left some chunky in it and it turned out GREAT!!

It's tough finding a really good guacamole recipe, but this one wins! Didn't change a thing and it was a huge hit. Saving this to my recipe box to use again and again.

This recipe is good, basic. I placed chunks of onion and avocado in food processor and pulsed until well blended. Also, I added two plum tomatoes, finely chopped, for color. Will add more cilantro next time.
