Recipe of Homemade Guacamole in 5 Minutes: Creamy, Fresh and Perfectly Limey
Vida Recetas Editorial
Homemade guacamole is one of the most famous sauces in Mexican cooking: a creamy dip made with ripe avocado, lime, cilantro, onion and chili that comes together in just 5 minutes with no cooking at all. Its name comes from the Nahuatl ahuacamolli, avocado sauce, and although it is now served all over the world, the authentic version holds one golden rule: few ingredients, very fresh, and an avocado at the exact point of ripeness.
It is the perfect choice for appetizers with friends, parties, tacos, burritos or simply for dipping with tortilla chips. It welcomes many variations: with mango, roasted corn, pomegranate or an extra kick of heat from serrano chili. This recipe yields 4 servings and is ready in 5 minutes.
