After many years of guacamole eating, I do feel this is the best guacamole. This recipe is easy, dairy free and full of nutrients.
Many shop bought versions are loaded with dairy or vegetable oil for cheap but very unhealthy padding. Suitable for vegan, whole food, plant based and healthy diets.
It may be high in fat but it is all healthy fats and our bodies do not function without fat.
If you don’t have time to read the recipe / watch the video then the one tip to take away is to soak red onion in lime juice.
Lime gives a better flavour than lemon and by soaking the red onion in the juice it softens and becomes mellow and mild.
Just a few mins soaked in lime juice does the trick so it can marinate while you mash the avocados.

The most important thing to make amazing guacamole is delicious raw ingredients. The avocados have to be perfectly ripe; if they are not leave in a paper bag with a banana and check daily.
Avocados are probably my favourite ingredient, but they can be the most heartbreaking when they are under or over ripe. Once they start to go stringy and have brown lines I put them in the compost to return to the earth.
Also important is to use sweet juicy tomatoes that are bursting with flavour. They are not a garnish but really help to enhance the flavour. As I’m in the UK I often buy cherry tomatoes as they usually have a good flavour and are sweet.
The title maybe a bit supercilious but this name has been bestowed to this recipe by others.
This is one dish I have several times a week and never get bored of it. Also great on it is a few tbsp of chopped coriander/cilantro.
I didn’t add any herbs for this one as I find you either need to add the paprika or the coriander as both together can be too much.
We mash our avocados with the back of the fork as the inconsistent texture with lumps of fatty avocado goodness is the whole point of guacamole.
If you blend it up it will go smooth and just not have an appealing texture.
In the world of guacamole, there is nothing worse than using a blender to whip up the oily avocado into a smooth paste – it won’t have the right texture and you might as well use it as wallpaper paste.
