I decided to try making a new dish this time. More like a snack. Moreover, vegetarian. Read how to make avocado guacamole. This is a famous Mexican dish that everyone will appreciate.
The History of Mexican Avocado Dip
Many centuries ago, avocados were considered inedible. However, the brave princess of the Mayan tribe still dared to try the fruit, for which she was rewarded with enlightenment, eternal youth, and beautiful children. So says the ancient legend, the truth of which only time knows. However, now this is no longer so important, because avocado has become firmly established in many cuisines of the world and continues to be one of the leaders in terms of benefits among many other fruits.
Avocado has been voted the most nutritious fruit in the world. On September 25, 1988, the corresponding information was entered into the Guinness Book of Records.
Who came up with the idea of making wonderful guacamole from this wonderful fruit? The name of the sauce comes from the Aztec words “ahuacatl” (avocado) and “molli” (sauce), so there is an opinion that it was these Indian people who came up with the recipe, which is still popular today. According to other written sources, the first information about guacamole is found in English and Spanish written references that date back to the beginning of the 20th century. Either way, the sauce has a history, with roots going back to traditional Mexican cuisine.
What is it made from and what is it served with?
In addition to the main ingredient - avocado, the essential components of the simplest guacamole are lime (or lemon) juice and salt (ideally sea salt).
However, taking into account the fact that all recipes are subject to changes and additions by culinary experts, you can find options with the addition of hot and/or bell peppers, tomatoes, onions, garlic, herbs (most often cilantro), and various seasonings. Olive oil is a common ingredient in the dish; mayonnaise is less commonly found in recipes.
It should not be surprising that on culinary sites there are recipes for exotic foods with the addition of fruits, cheese, meat, fish and seafood. Everyone prepares this dish to their own taste!
Traditionally, the sauce is served with Mexican corn tortillas . In addition, guacamole is good with bread, regular or thin pita bread, crackers and any chips and toast.
It should also be prepared as a side dish for meat and fish dishes, or as a salad for pasta and potatoes: to do this, simply cut the ingredients specified in the recipe larger and do not puree the dish.
Guacamole sauce: classic recipe
If you decide to prepare aromatic Guacamole dip according to the classic recipe, you must include lime and table salt. In addition to these beneficial properties, avocado is considered a powerful aphrodisiac that helps maintain male and female health. Salt gives the fresh fruit a piquancy, and lime helps preserve its appetizing greenish color. In addition, there are regional differences in preparing the dip. Thus, American guacamole has a rich, salty taste, while Mexican guacamole has a sharper taste.
To prepare you need the following components:
- avocado (1 pc.);
- onions (0.5 pcs.);
- chili (1 piece);
- half a lime;
- 3 sprigs of cilantro;
- a pinch of salt.
Cooking method:
- Wash, peel and cut vegetables. Moreover, grind the onion with salt, cut the chili into rings.
- Squeeze out the lime juice.
- Remove the pit from the avocado and remove the peel.
- Grind with a knife, fork, blender.
- Add juice to preserve color.
- Combine all ingredients, stir thoroughly and serve.

Lazy recipe from the forum
I usually prepare this dip when there is absolutely no time or I really don’t feel like cooking (and my stomach completely refuses to accept such an excuse girl_haha) or when I need to serve it to the table quickly and so that everyone is happy good2. Goes great with beer and wine. You can eat it with chips, bread (not WITH chips, bread, but bread! It’s much tastier! Wink), bread, whatever you like Drinks or Beer Attention, this recipe is far from real, the original adds a lot more products, but we have a very lazy option... girl_blush2 Maybe someone will find my express recipe useful sharik
For a medium bowl (for about 2 people) you will need: * Ripe avocado (soft) - 2 pcs. * Lemon juice - About half a lemon, but you can also use concentrate * Fresh dill (you can also dry it) * Salt, pepper
Cut the avocado into 2 halves, remove the pit, carefully scrape the pulp into a bowl with a spoon - mash the pulp with a fork or masher or in a blender (I don’t like it in a blender - there’s too much valuable yummy left on the walls). Finely chop the dill and add to the avocado, pour in lemon juice, add black pepper (preferably freshly ground) and the more the better, but do not over-pepper, salt is also to taste. 5 minutes and you're done! Wink It turns out sooooo delicious, it’s swept away in a matter of minutes!

General principles for making sauce
Guacamole is considered a Mexican sauce or pate, the main ingredients of which are avocado pulp with hot pepper and lime juice. At the same time, the delicacy is a cold snack. Based on the basic composition of the components, several recipes have been developed that use fresh tomatoes and bell peppers.
However, the main ingredient in green sauce remains avocado pulp, regardless of the recipe. It is this that gives the product its final consistency and taste. Therefore, for cooking it is necessary to choose exclusively ripe fruits with a rich hue.
The general principles for preparing the sauce are as follows:
- To vary the taste, the paste can be supplemented with garlic cloves, cilantro, green or other onions, hot or sweet peppers, as well as fresh tomatoes.
- In rare cases, the sauce is supplemented with mayonnaise. But such a product recipe is considered not of very high quality, since the taste of avocado is replaced by the taste of the filler used.
- To turn the sauce components into a homogeneous mass, you can use a knife, fork or blender. In order for the product to contain small pieces of ingredients, the avocado must be chopped with a fork, gradually adding the remaining components with chopped herbs. To ensure that the mixture has a completely homogeneous consistency, you must use a blender.
- It is recommended to serve the sauce along with corn or wheat tortillas filled with tomato sauce, tomatoes, meat pieces, beans, cheese and avocado. A good addition would be chips, bread, crackers, unleavened waffles or a salad called Taco.
- Guacamole sauce is an excellent addition to rice porridge, canned beans, boiled or fried eggs, chicken and fish.
Guacamole sauce goes well with rice, beans, eggs, and meat.
Since it contains exclusively natural products that are not subject to heat treatment, as well as fresh herbs, the sauce can saturate the body with vitamins and minerals.
At the same time, the delicacy is characterized by the following useful qualities:
- gently envelops the walls of the stomach, which prevents the risk of diseases associated with the gastrointestinal tract;
- allows you to produce the hormone of joy in the process of eating food, because the treat turns out to be quite tasty;
- allows you to get rid of the feeling of hunger for a long time, because the sauce turns out to be quite nutritious and satisfying;
- has a positive effect on the state of the digestive system, since it contains dietary fiber;
- gives a feeling of vigor and improves immunity, because it consists of fresh herbs, citrus juice and fruit pulp.

Traditional sandwich option with lime juice
Guacamole sauce, a homemade recipe for which is the basis for creating more tasty and interesting snacks, turns out quite appetizing and has a sweet and sour taste. It can be used in the form of a paste when creating more complex snacks. If you use the sauce to make sandwiches, it is recommended to top the appetizer with a baked slice of meat or lightly salted salmon. The raw material also harmonizes well with fish and meat delicacies.
The food items you will need to prepare the avocado-based aromatic sauce are listed in the table below:
Required components | Required volume |
Avocado | 230 g |
Lime | 50 g |
Olive based oil | at your own discretion |
Hot peppers | 20 g |
Salt | of necessity |
If necessary, the delicacy can be supplemented with fresh tomatoes and herbs in the form of parsley or cilantro.
The technology for creating a lime-flavored sauce is described in the following step-by-step steps:
- The avocado should be rinsed under a stream of cool water, and then cut into 2 parts, removing the pit with a spoon.
- Then you will need to extract the pulp and place it in a glass bowl or mortar.
- Next, you will need to sprinkle the component with lime juice so that the fruit pulp does not turn dark.
- The ingredients must be thoroughly ground into a paste with a wooden masher or pestle.
- Afterwards, you need to cut the pepper into pieces, removing all the seeds and chopping well with a knife. The ingredient will need to be sent to the rest of the components.
- At the end you need to add salt and mix everything well. If necessary, if the sauce is a bit thick, it can be diluted with olive oil.
