For me guacamole is at its finest when it is simple. Just a bit of spice, salt, and crunch allows the delicate flavor and opulent texture of avocados to take center-stage. And it makes a perfect blank canvas if you want to get creative with topping. See below for some great seasonal ideas!

Guacamole

Ingredients

  • 3 ripe Haas avocados*

  • 1/2 small sweet or white onion, 1/8" dice

  • juice of 1/2 lime (about 1 tablespoon)

  • 1-3 teaspoons of Shabazi N38 (depending on how hot you like it)

  • Salt, to taste

  • Optional, if you like: fresh cilantro, fresh jalapeño, green hot sauce (my favorite is this one by Primo's Peppers).

Directions

  1. Halve, seed, quarter, then peel your avocados (this is the easiest order), lay them on a large cutting board, and sprinkle with lime juice.

  2. Using a large knife chop the avocado quarters into small pieces; it's ok for the pieces to be uneven just make sure that none are huge.

  3. Add the other ingredients, mix and mash lightly with your hands or a fork, adjust your seasonings to your tastes, then stir gently to incorporate. You want the pieces of avocado to remain distinct but held together.
