Instructions
- Add everything to your food processor or blender and process until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
- For a chunky guasacaca, pulse in a food processor until you reach desired consistency, without over processing.
- Taste and adjust to your taste, adding more salt, vinegar, or jalapeno to your preference.

Notes
- Jalapenos really vary in their level of spiciness. Start with 1, seeds removed, if you want a mild spice level to your guasacaca. Taste the dip once processed and add more, or add in the seeds until desired spiciness level is reached.
- If you don't want any heat, you may skip the jalapeno OR replace it with half to one yellow or green bell pepper.
- Do not sub the fresh herbs for dry. That just won't work well for guasacaca. The freshness from the cilantro and parsley is what makes this dish so special.
- For less tang, you may use lemon juice instead of lime juice and apple cider vinegar instead of rice vinegar. I urge you to try it the original tangy way first though.
- Make it a salad dressing. Add a little more lime juice, vinegar, or some olive oil or water to your guasacaca until desired consistency is reached. It will add some lovely pizzaz to a fresh green salad.
