    We were so fed up of always being disappointed with other guacamole's. It didn't matter whether it was deli bought, or in a restaurant, we could never find one that was as good as ours. So we decided that it was about time we shared our recipe with the world, and let everyone else have, what we think is, the perfect guac recipe!

    A serving bowl filled with guacamole, with tortilla chips in the background.
    Our perfect guacamole, ready in just a few minutes.

    The secret is in the balance. When you eat it you can pick out each the individual flavour notes, it's perfectly balanced, so that no single element stands out from, or overpowers any the rest.

    What You'll Need

    Ingredients

    The guacamole ingredients laid out on a white board, and labelled.
    Guacamole ingredients.
    • Avocado - The base of any guacamole. The secret is having the right balance of all the other components as well. Avocados are also high in 'good fats' with 60 per cent of this being monounsaturated fats, which research suggests helps to protect against heart disease as well as lowering blood pressure and cholesterol. They are also an excellent source of potassium, folate and fibre, all of which benefit the heart and cardiovascular system.
    • Fresh Coriander (Cilantro) - A refreshing herb that we use in lots of salads and dips. A really important ingredient when making a good guac as it is one of the 6 flavour notes needed for a perfect guacamole.
    • Garlic - The health benefits of garlic are abundant. It can help lower cholesterol. And it is also a fantastic immunity booster. It also gives the guacamole a lovely, lightly spicy undertone.
    • Lime - Gives that light citrus punch that comes through when eating a good guacamole.
    • Red Onion - Preferable to using other types of onion as they have just the right balance of sweetness and strength.
    • Salt & Pepper - Always down to personal preference this one. The quantities we have suggested are for what we consider to be optimum seasoning of the Guacamole.
    • Tomatoes - We use cherry tomatoes as they have a slightly sharper, sweeter taste. This works really well with the other flavours and allows them to shine and play their part perfectly in the finished guac.

    Equipment

    • Thermomix
    • Kitchen Knife

    How to make it

    Substitutions & Variations.

    We make this without chilli, out of preference and also to keep it a toddler friendly guacamole.

    If you do want it with chilli, to keep the balance, we recommend trying it with a de-seeded, chopped, small jalapeño. You would add this at the same time as the red onion. This would give it a nice warm glow, without overpowering the other flavours.

    You could also try making our hand made Chunky Guacamole, if you wanted to try something that's just a little bit special!

    FAQ's

    Can I freeze guacamole?

    Avocado is a fruit that doesn't typically freeze well unless blended with other ingredients in an ice cream or similar. For this reason we would not recommend freezing this guacamole.

    What is fresh coriander?

    If you're in the USA then fresh coriander is more commonly known as cilantro.

    How can I stop guacamole going brown?

    Lay a few thin slices of lime on top of it and keep it stored in an airtight container in the fridge. Avocado flesh inherently goes brown once exposed to the air. The combination of the citric acid in the lime slices and the restriction of air help to extend the length of time that it will retain its colour for.

    Is Guacamole healthy?

    Yes. Avocado is the main ingredient in guacamole and most of the health benefits you get from guacamole come from the avocado. Avocados are loaded with good plant based fats, with 60 per cent of these being monounsaturated fats. Research suggests monounsaturated fats can help to protect against heart disease and strokes. They can also help to lower blood pressure and cholesterol. Avocados are also an excellent source of potassium, folate and fibre, all of which benefit the heart and cardiovascular system.

    Storage

    This guacamole will keep in the fridge for a 2-3 days in an airtight container.

    Top tip

    • If you want to keep any stored guacamole looking as vibrant as possible when it comes back out of the fridge, lay a few thin slices of lime on top of it and keep it stored in an airtight container when you put it away. This helps to prevent the avocado from blackening so quickly.

    Notes

    • If you want to keep any stored Guacamole looking as vibrant as possible when it comes back out of the fridge, lay a few thin slices of lime on top of it and keep it stored in an airtight container when you put it away. This helps to prevent the Avocado from blackening so quickly.
    • We make this Guacamole without Chilli. If you do want to add Chilli, add a single de-seeded, chopped, small Jalapeño. You would add this at the same time as the Red Onion. This would give it a nice warm glow, without overpowering the other flavours and upsetting the balance.

      Fab guacamole. We made two batches of this. One with chilli and one without and everyone loved both of them. The grandkids really enjoyed it too.
