Classic guacamole

Guacamole - avocado sauce - is a Mexican dish known all over the world. The recipe dates back to antiquity. It was invented in Mexico, and then spread to South America and Europe, where it took pride of place among other famous sauces. First of all, he will like spicy lovers. The classic guacamole avocado sauce recipe includes mashed avocado pulp, lemon or lime juice, and salt. We also offer you to try a delicious appetizer.

• lemon (can be replaced with lime) - half of the fruit;

It is better to take small onions for avocado guacamole so that they do not interrupt the taste and aroma of other ingredients.

Cooking method:

1. Wash the alligator pear thoroughly and dry with a towel.
2. Divide the fruit in half. To do this, first make an incision along the entire circumference of the fruit, cutting the flesh to the bone.
3. Further, the halves of the avocado are turned in opposite directions relative to each other, thereby moving the pulp away from the kernel.
4. To remove the stone, place the avocado on a cutting board. Take your hands off the table to avoid injury. Taking a knife, they very carefully hit the bone with it, making sure that the blade sinks a little into the core. Turn the knife around its axis and take out the core. You can use a safer method: use a spoon to cut the avocado flesh around the pit and remove it.
5. Pour lime or lemon juice over the avocado. This will prevent oxidation and browning of the fruit.
6. With the help of a spoon, take out all the pulp (you can just cut off the peel) and grind in a blender until puree.
7. Wash the tomatoes well, dry and cut into small cubes.
8. Peel the onion and chop finely.
