Guacamole With Sour Cream

Recipe #2708 | 10 min | 10 min prep | add private note

By: maenad

My guacamole is very free-form, but here are the basics: Figure about 1/2 large avocado per person. I don't care whether I'm using Haas or regular avocados - some people do. Pick ones that give to mild pressure but are not mushy. If you can't find any that are ripe, get hard ones and keep them in a paper bag for a couple of days until they ripen.

SERVES 2 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Cut the avocado in half, scoop out the flesh with a spoon; mash 3/4 of it well and chop the remaining 1/4 coarsely (I do this with the spoon, in the avocado shell, before scooping the last bit out).
  2. 2
    Mix it into the mashed portion.
  3. 3
    Mix all remaining ingredients together.
  4. 4
    Serve immediately, or cover with plastic wrap, pressing wrap firmly to surface of guacamole (or it will turn color due to oxidation) and refrigerate up to 4 hours before serving.

My fiance and I have made this several times now. This is the best guacamole we have ever had! We will never buy the pre-packaged again. Even our favorite mexican restaraunt doesn't compare to this. Thanks

    Terrific- Dh and I are loving it. I left out the salsa and olives. I used white onion. I used lemon juice and 1/2 tsp. of salt . YUM!

    Just a tip I saw on T.V., to be sure that you get a nice green avacado, peek under that little stem.. if it's bright green, the avacado is good.. if its black, then the avacado will have black spots inside. My guacamole is made almost exactly like yours, minus the olives, so I'm sure that it's great!

    My first time to make guacamole; I had no idea how easy it was! I also had thought that guacamole had unhealthy ingredients to make it yummy--but this is a winner. I didn't have cilantro or olives, but it was still great. I like the versatility of this recipe. I put everything together in my little chopper, and in a minute I had perfect guacamole. DH loved it, too...2nd review: still good as ever; this time my 3yo gobbled it up! Excellent!
