I am not crazy about the guacamole served in many Mexican restaurants, the kind made in a blender and it comes out like green soup. We always make our guacamole thick and chunky.

If you are a garlic lover.

1 Avocado mashed

1 clove of garlic through a garlic crusher.

sprinkle very small amount of garlic salt.

mix together and dip.

I'll bring the chips.:tumble:

Linguine likes garlic but it doesn't agree with her. I love it and would probably eat it everyday if it was up to me. (Note: I also have an aversion to sleeping alone when I have garlic breath.)

The cilantro is also added to her recipe in small quantities with more on the side because I love the stuff. She, on the other hand, doesn't care much for it except in limited amounts. Heard from a friend not too long ago that cilantro tastes like soap to a relatively large (he said 20%) number of people. As for me, the more the better.




I think the world is run by C- students.

Just ate my guacamole...mashed up (with chunks), lime juice, Pace salsa & salt. It was delicious!

When I have it on hand, I use fresh tomatoes and green onions, but Pace is awesome, too. Especially when I just want a quick fix.

The perfect guack


Has most of the elements described above. What I've noticed that what seems to vary most are the onion and garlic ingredients.
Those two ingredients along with cilantro can make or break a great guack. One must take care to preserve the nutty and subtle flavor of the avocado.

Too much salt or adding salsa, pepper, lemon, lime or sour cream can have dire effects on the finished product. :wow:

Here is my simple recipe:

4 Hass avocados
1 tbs yellow onion PUREED
2 cloves garlic PUREED
2 roma or sm tomatoes DICED
1 pinch fresh cilantro CHOPPED (optional)
Pinch of good salt
Pinch of black pepper

Add all ingredients but tomatoes to bowl and mash till you get your desired consistency. Carefully add salt to taste if necessary.
Gently stir in tomatoes and chill.

edit:
Never EVER use powdered garlic or onion> It is sacrilege and makes you real stinky!:no::lol:
