Notes
- TIPS FOR GUACAMOLE RECIPE
- The flavor of avocados will depend on the type of avocado you start with. A Hass avocado has more flavor than Florida avocado.
- The texture of the guacamole is completely your choice.
- This recipe demonstrates a smooth luscious style guacamole in the food processor.
- However you can make a chunky guacamole by using a mortar and pestle or mashing the avocado with a fork.
- For the food processor, make sure that you process all ingredients except the avocados first. That way you don’t end up with over processed guacamole.
- Make the authentic guacamole recipe to start with using those basic ingredients and then think of add-ons.
- Don’t add watery ingredients such as tomatoes to the guacamole, except during serving. Add only the amount you’ll need to avoid leftovers.
- Serve the guacamole with the toppings you prefer (toppings are better than blending everything in).
- Store leftover guacamole in an airtight container with a layer of water or lemon juice or olive oil covering the entire top.
- To serve, simply remove that layer of water, olive oil or lemon juice and blend the guacamole using a spoon lightly.
- Freezing avocados is preferable over freezing guacamole.
- To freeze guacamole, make sure it’s the basic guacamole recipe shown here without any additions that can go watery after freezing.
