If we search through Mexican cuisine we will see that guacamole is one of the most representative recipes, which then spread first in the United States and then to the rest of the world. The recipe I present to you now is very close to the original one which contains only avocado, sea salt, lime juice, cilantro and jalapeño.
Starting from this recipe I will make some changes and I will bring guacamole closer to my tastes resulting in a very delicious dip.
Ingredients
The main ingredient of the guacamole recipe is of course the avocado, from which I will use three pieces of ripe avocados, from which I will make a dip for three people. To these, I will add cayenne pepper, lemon juice, half a red onion, a handful of chives and a little extra virgin olive oil.
As you can see, I will not use coriander because I belong to the group of those who do not like this ingredient I replaced it with chives and at the end, I will add a little chopped parsley.
Preparing the Ingredients
Preparing the ingredients does not take long, I start with the avocados that I first cut in half and removed the seeds. I peeled the red onion and cut the cayenne pepper in half lengthwise and removed the seeds to temper its spiciness.
Using a spoon, I removed the avocado core from the peel and then cut it into small cubes and put it in a mixing bowl, in which I will mix the ingredients for the guacamole.
I finely chopped half of the red onion and cayenne pepper. I also finely chopped the chives.

You will see that from here the guacamole recipe is made very quickly and easily. With the help of a fork, I will easily mash the avocado pieces until I get an inhomogeneous paste, don’t worry if the whole avocado pieces remain, it will be more rustic.
Over the mashed avocado, add the chopped onion, the chopped cayenne pepper and the finely chopped chives.
Squeeze the juice from a lemon, season with a teaspoon of sea salt and a teaspoon of freshly ground pepper and add two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, so that this dip becomes as creamy as possible.
Mix all the ingredients well with a spoon, add a tablespoon of chopped parsley and mix again to incorporate all the ingredients well.
We put the bowl with guacamole in the cold for 15 minutes to combine the flavours and that’s it, it was in my opinion the best homemade guacamole recipe, ready to serve.
Serving the Guacamole
The easiest way to serve is in a bowl with some crackers or tortilla chips. You can also toast some bread and cut it into sticks to soak in this dip. So delicious!
