Presenting guacamole! A lavish spread made of avocado and herbs which you can use as a dip, salad dressing, or on toast.

Guacamole (pronounced: ‘gwaak-uh-mo-lee’ or ‘gwaak-uh-mo-lay’) originated in what is now Mexico, developed by the Aztecs who called it ahuacamolli, which means ‘avocado sauce’.

It gained popularity in North America during the 1980s, presumably due to the Mexican immigrants in the US.

Ingredient for Guacamole Salsa

To make guacamole, you need:

• 1 ripe avocado
• 1 chopped onion
• 1 chopped green chili
• 1 crushed garlic
• 1 chopped tomato
• ½ tsp Pepper Powder
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp chopped coriander leaves
• Rock Salt

Guacamole Recipe Tips:

Learn to cut the avocado the right way

Slice your avocado neatly into half using a knife with a broad, sharp blade. Do this with the avocado still in the skin. To remove the avocado seed (or ‘pit’ as it is called), gently strike it with your knife and twist the knife to extract it out of the fruit. Once the pit is out, you can use a spoon to scoop out the pulp from the skin.

Choose the right avocados

You need to make sure that the avocado still has the stem attached. If the stem has been removed, it is more likely to have brown spots on the inside. Also, the avocado should be firm but slightly yield to pressure.

Use fresh lime

Avoid the temptation to use bottled lime juice as it just doesn’t have the same effect. Freshly squeezed lime juice gives your guacamole that extra punch it needs. There is no other substitute to fresh lime juice. Add some freshly chopped dhania (coriander leaves) and there’s nothing like it.

Soft and ripe

You need soft and ripe avocados. If the avocados you have are firm, leave them at room temperature until they’re soft. When the bulbous end of the avocado yields to pressure, it is ready to be used.

Don’t overmix

Your guacamole shouldn’t be completely smooth in texture. A little bit of variation adds to the flavor. Make sure you leave some chunks of avocado and don’t mash it fully.

Season well

Don’t cut down on the seasoning. Use liberal amounts of salt, pepper, and lime juice. Add more than what you would normally add. You can even use different kinds of seasoning like oregano and rosemary. You want your guac to taste punchy and flavourful, not boring and bland. Live dangerously and spice it up a little!

Prevent browning

Your guacamole will turn brown due to oxidization. To keep it looking fresh and green, add lime juice and cover the guac with plastic wrap directly on its surface. Keep it cold even when you serve.
