Best Naked Guacamole Recipes

NAKED GUACAMOLE

Naked Guacamole image

We love avocados in my family. This is called naked guacamole because the flavor of the avocado itself is highlighted along with a bit of crunch from the onion, tomato, salt, lime and cilantro. The texture should be chunky- please don't use a blender or processor. Although it may be tempting to add other things- simple is best (oh OK. . . add some garlic if you like ;) ) From Cooking from the Edge.

Time 8m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

2 Hass avocadoes, perfectly ripe
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt (to taste)
1 1/2 teaspoons lime juice, freshly squeezed
1 ripe roma tomatoes or 6 -8 sweet cherry tomatoes, seeded and finely chopped
1/4 of a white onion, finely chopped
12 large fresh cilantro stems, stemmed and roughly chopped

Steps:

Remove the seed and peel from the avocados and place in a bowl or molcajete.
Sprinkle with the salt and lime juice and crush with a fork, potato masher, or tejolote.
When the consistency is that of a chunky puree, stir in the tomato, onion, and cilantro.
Taste for seasoning.
If the guacamole is to be eaten with tostadas as a snack, it should be more highly seasoned.
Served alongside carnitas or carne asada, a little less seasoned so that it balances the other flavors.

THE BEST GUACAMOLE

The Best Guacamole image

Simple ingredients in perfect proportion make a this dip a crowd-pleasing favorite for any event. We decided not to use tomato in ours -- it makes the guac watery -- and included both onion and garlic for extra zip. A healthy dose of fresh lime juice balances and brightens the flavors.

Time 25m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1/2 small red onion, diced small
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
4 ripe Hass avocados
1/4 cup lime juice (about 2 limes)
1 jalapeno, minced (seeds and membranes included if you prefer heat or removed for a milder version)
1 clove garlic, grated
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup lightly packed cilantro leaves, finely chopped (about 1/4 cup finely chopped)
Tortilla chips, for serving

Steps:

Put the diced onion into a small strainer and rinse under cold running water. Transfer to a small bowl and cover with 1 cup cold water. Stir in the vinegar and let sit for 10 minutes.
Slice the avocados in half, remove the pits and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl. Pour the lime juice over the avocado. Using a fork or potato masher, mash the avocado until creamy with some chunks remaining. Drain the onions well and add to the bowl, along with the jalapeno, garlic, salt and cilantro. Stir to combine.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips. Or press a piece of plastic wrap directly against the surface of the guacamole to prevent discoloration and refrigerate until ready to serve.
