I made guacamole last night and it didn’t turn out to my satisfaction. I decided to share this piece of unfortunate news with Twitter and wow did I stir up a conversation. 
I have more ideas for guacamole than I have brain cells now. First here is the recipe I generally follow.
- 2-3 Avacados
- garlic
- tomato
- onion
- fresh lime juice
- Salt (course, either Kosher or sea)
If it’s available and I know everyone who I will be serving likes it, I will usually add cilantro.
Now apparently guacamole is incredibly diverse. Here are a few suggestions I got on Twitter and ones I found on-line. I had heard of some of these, but some were new to me.
- A squeeze of orange
- lemon juice
- egg
- chili peppers
- cumin
- hot pepper sauce
- chunky salsa
- green onion
I’m now craving guacamole so I may need a trip to the grocery store for some supplies. Any other suggestions for guacamole ingredients.

I still say no tomato!
Only good tomatoes in my guac, which means they have flavor. Of course the lack of tomatoes doesn’t ruin guac, it’s just how I make mine.
Doug, I would say tomato isn’t in “real” guacamole the way that vodka martinis aren’t “real” martinis.
It’s all delicious to me regardless of authenticity.
A vodka martini is a flavorless abomination.
Two comments. My mom uses sour cream in hers, which is gross. Second, Target & Lund’s (and maybe other places) sell this Wholly Guacamole in 100 calorie packs and it’s delicious and super-convenient. Avocados, jalapenos, lime juice and salt are the only ingredients.
Sour cream sounds horrid. Thanks for the tip on the single serve guac. I will keep my eyes open for it.
