How to Make Guacamole without Onion?

Let’s start preparing this simple guacamole recipe; follow these two easy steps and make it quickly in 5 minutes.

Step 1

In a large bowl, add avocados after removing the flesh from the spoon clearly and mash them with a fork or potato masher, whichever is easier for you.

Ensure that the avocados are ripe because it will make the mashing process easier and make the dip smooth and dense.

Step 2

Add chili powder, lime juice, garlic powder, and salt in the same bowl. Use a scraper and stir the mixture well for a few seconds.

Next, add diced tomatoes and mix smoothly until blended. Once it is ready, sprinkle some freshly minced cilantro or black pepper. Now, enjoy with tortilla chips as a dip and spread it on the main dish or fresh veggies.

How to Pick a Perfect Ripe Avocado?

Squeeze the avocado delicately, and if you find it soft instead of mushy, then you are good to use it.
Colors might be different so remember that the dark ones (specifically black avocados) are most likely to turn out softer.
When the flesh comes out quickly and is green from the bottom, that means it is a ripe avocado. If it does not, then your avocado has yet to be ripened.
Try to buy the ripe avocados 1-2 days in advance for better results. If you do not want to use it directly, then purchase the slightly underripe ones, so it gets ready by the time you need them.

How to Keep Leftover Guacamole?

If there is some leftover guacamole at home or you do not want to have it right away, you can store it easily. Here is how you should do it:

Since this guacamole recipe contains lime juice, use an airtight container when storing it in a refrigerator. You can keep it for 3-4 days. It will stay fresh, but the color may vary to brown.
While the guacamole is in the container, squeeze some lime juice to make a bar before putting on the lid.
If you want to store it in the same serving bowl, cover the guacamole with food wrap and place it in the refrigerator.

You can choose any method to store your leftover guacamole. It is super safe to use even after a couple of days!

Helpful Tips for this Recipe

Buy avocados 1-2 days before you make guacamole.
A potato masher is a better way to mash avocados than a fork.
Try to use fresh items for the best results: tomatoes, cilantro, and avocados.
You can use more ingredients of your choice if you want some additional taste.
If your avocado is hard, place it in a paper bag with banana and apple for around 2-3 days, so it becomes ready to eat.
