Use a cup of the Fresh Tomato Salsa to make this easy guacamole. Mash a few avocados, stir in lemon juice and you're done! Guacamole will turn brown if allowed to sit and is best made shortly before serving.

Quick and easy guacamole recipe!
April M - August 9, 2007 01:35:53 PM PSTSimple tip for preventing browning of guacamole: save one avocado pit and place in the center of the guacamole after preparation. This will help slow down the browning of the avocados.

Agree
PEEJ - January 31, 2008 06:21:42 AM PSTI agree with rickflashmem that lime juice works much better with Guacamole than lemon juice does.
I also put in finely chopped red onion and a spoonfull of sour cream.4 of 4 found this review helpful.

Guac without cilantro? Ewww
thehotapplespider - April 14, 2008 02:32:31 PM PSTTry this instead. 2 Avocados mashed, but left sorta chunky. 1 Giant handful of fresh cilantro coarsely chopped. 1/4 cup chopped red onion. A splash of either lime juice or, I always liked a bit of orange juice. Fresh cracked black pepper and salt, to taste. Guacamole shouldn't taste like salsa, it should taste like avocados and cilantro. Most mexican restaurants worth their weight in salt rimmed glasses will use only these two ingredients for their Guac.
If this is too mild for you, try adding some chili powder, preferably Ancho chili pepper. If it starts to brown, stirring usually greens it back up. Enjoy!3 of 3 found this review helpful.

Plus it!
Boiiinng - April 14, 2008 01:41:59 PM PSTAdd crushed garlic cloves for an especially tasty mix.
Also, the whole pit stops browning thing has no basis in fact. It's an old hoax. It may make the dish look cool, but it doesn't do anything. As soon as avocado hits oxygen, it will start browning, that's why its shell is so hard. Just keep it in gladware and it should last a couple of days if it has to.
And freshly squeezed lime juice is much better than lemon. Lemon juice makes it worse. I don't know why people keep using that.3 of 3 found this review helpful.

My Guac
Lynn O - April 14, 2008 03:15:27 PM PSTI am with the majority here: chunky fresh avocado, a little salsa, lime juice, sale and cilantro. It is not complete w/o cilantro! Sadly my hubby (the woose) doesn't like cilantro, so I make his in a separate bowl.
