Pretty much as the simpler recipes except that I actually prefer lemon to lime, I find lime has an 'old sock' aftertaste and I grate the onion and mash the garlic so people don't get a great whallop of it in their mouths at one time.I also do one bowl with and one without tomatoes as not everybody likes those, interesting to see that most people leave salt out, personally I think it needs it to lift the taste, I sprinkle the salt over the tomatoes rather than add it to the avocado mix though.

did someone ask for authentic! I dont think so.leave your attitude elsewhere, it does not belong here in recipes. You have a cheek telling other posters that their recipes are yuck.

hang on cookie,he fits in quite nicely ! Do you think he is one of our regulars,posting under an alias! Personally I do: Roughly mashed avos Finely chopped red onion Finely chopped red chilli or1 tsp Masterfoods hot chilli flakes Chopped tomatoes Coriander,plenty of Lime (or lemon Juice) Salt,Black pepper
I don't bother with sour cream,yoghurt etc but will certainly eat it if it's served up to me.People get a bit precious about the purity of recipes and I agree that one or two posted aren't what would be considered 'authentic',but what the hell,it's not being served up to you in a restaurant or cafe.It's the choice of individual posters and they happily and proudly serve it to their family and friends.
My view is that it is an opportunity for the food purists to mock those with a differentand less educated or sophisticated palate.Surely it's just as easy to just taiho and not patronise !
Seasons greetings to all.

Hi eastie3, have not heard from you in a wee while. Mmmm, perhaps. I just cannot understand why there are those that seem to think they are SO above evryone else in regards to what THEY beleive is the RIGHT recipe.just SO SO rude. This IS recipes after all, not a place for food snobs.

If the original poster had asked for a recipe for an avocado dip, then all of the recipes given would be appropriate.But the request was for Guacamole,so I think it is reasonable to remark that some of the suggestions were not what was requested.

You have a cheek calling yourself a cook! What a joke! Are you Mexican! I doubt it! Any "real" Mexican would tell you there is no sour cream in Guacamole (Pal)

Typical funny cooks et al thread.
If someone asks for a "guacamole" recipe - then why would you give a recipe that has all sorts in it that "guacamole" hasn't!
Why NOT give an AUTHENTIC recipe!
What on earth is wrong with you all to think that an "authentic" recipe is something that should NOT be given! Instead we get recipes that proclaim: "We eat things we like. Does not mean yours is not nice, just haven't tried it yet."
Are you all crazy - or what!

How childish you are.if you actually READ the first post they want guacamole used as a dip which actually means that sour cream is perfectly acceptable. This is the recipe section love, not the culinary institute.

if you wish to give an "authentic" recipe, then go for it.that was not the issue. The issue is with upstarts who come in and say "yuck" to anyone elses recipe offered to the OP. I note, also someone who I dont think has ever been here apart from the last day or so and then thinks they have the right to rubbish other posters recipes. It is up to the OP to decide which recipe they want to use is it not!

Guacamole is in itself a 'dip' kind of food, why add unnecessary ingredients and complicate things!

Gosh, I come back to this after supplying a recipe only to find a flame going on - wow! I've been living through the quakes today so some of you need to take a deep breath and get over yourselves! Sorry I posted with yoghurt but its a good way our house to make it 'creamy' and thus more palatable to the kids.

Nothing wrong with the way you make it chatsmom.make what you and your family enjoy, thats the important thing. The rude poster has only been offering their "opinion" since December this year, hopefully, they might learn a few manners over time.
