Chunky Homemade Guacamole

Teresa Ambra
Chunky Homemade Guacamole is my favorite guacamole recipe, hands down! This quick and easy guacamole is one of the best you'll ever eat! The cilantro and red onion add depth of flavor and the tomatoes add a little chunkiness. This is a fantastic appetizer for tailgating parties or anytime you have a crowd because it goes fast! It's also gluten free and vegan.

Equipment

  • 1 potato masher or blender
  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 sharp knife to cut vegetables
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • 1 wooden spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ripe avocados chopped or mashed
  • 1 tsp. sea salt
  • 2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice I used ¾ of a small lemon
  • 1/4 cup chopped red onion
  • 1 medium tomato or 2 small Roma tomatoes, chopped
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves

Instructions
 

  • Mix all ingredients together and serve, or place in a blender and pulse for a few seconds to have a creamier texture.
  • Don't pulse too long and lose the chunkiness of the avocados and tomatoes, though.
  • Serve with tortilla chips, as a side for Tex-Mex dishes, or with vegetable dippers or pita bread dippers.
  • Makes about 1 ½ cups.

Notes

NOTE: You can also mash part of the avocados with a fork to get a little creamier texture.
 
NOTE: If you use very ripe avocados, the guacamole will be much creamier without mashing or putting in a blender because the avocados will be so soft.
