Homemade Chunky Guacamole (Vegan)
Description
The recipe starts by letting diced red onion soak briefly in lime juice to mellow its sharpness. Garlic and optionally diced chili are added for pungency and spice. Ripe avocados are roughly mashed by fork to maintain texture, then fresh cherry tomatoes and chopped coriander are gently folded in with salt and pepper seasoning. The careful mixing ensures the guacamole keeps its chunky character instead of becoming a smooth puree.
Flavor-wise, the guacamole balances creamy avocado richness with acidic brightness from lime and a fresh herbal note from coriander. The subtle heat from chili and pungency from garlic give complexity without overwhelming the natural avocado flavor. The texture varies from soft avocado chunks to crisp onion and juicy tomato bits.
This guacamole works well as a dip for chips, a topping for tacos, or alongside grilled vegetables. Topping it with additional coriander adds a fresh finish. Preparing it shortly before serving helps preserve its vibrant color and fresh taste.
Ingredients
- ½ red onion diced finely
- lime juice of 1
- 1 clove garlic crushed or grated
- ½ - 1 chilli seeds removed and diced very finely (optional)
- 2 avocado skins and stones removed
- 6 cherry tomato diced
- 10 g Coriander chopped finely, aka cilantro
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place the diced red onion and lime juice in a bowl and stir. Leave for 1 minute (this will take the harsh edge of the onions).
- Add the garlic (and chilli, if using) and stir again.
- Add the avocados to the bowl and mash roughly using a fork.
- Add the cherry tomatoes, most of the coriander (cilantro), plus some salt and pepper and stir everything together, taking care not to stir too much or your guacamole will lose its chunkiness.
- Taste the guacamole and if necessary add extra lime juice/salt/pepper/chilli to your liking.
- Serve topped with the remaining coriander (cilantro).
Notes
- Leaving the red onion in lime juice briefly reduces its sharpness for better balance in the guacamole.
- Adjust chili quantity or omit it to suit preferred spice level.
- Use ripe avocados for optimal creaminess and flavor.
- Serve soon after preparation to maintain bright color and texture.
