FAQS

4 Ingredient Guacamole Recipe (5)

Here are a few of the most frequently asked questions.

Is guacamole vegan?

Yes, my recipe for guacamole is vegan. It only contains avocados, lime, red onions, and cilantro.

Does guacamole contain garlic?

Traditional guacamole does not contain garlic. Typical guacamole has avocado, lime, red onion, salt, and sometimes plum tomato, cilantro, and jalapeno for spice.

Is guacamole just avocado?

Guacamole is typically made of just more then mashed creamy avocado. You can eat it just as mashed guacamole but additional spices and vegetables will help elevate it.

How to keep guacamole from turning brown?

The best way to keep guacamole from turning brown is by placing plastic wrap on top and pressing it into the guacamole so no air can touch the guacamole. It can be stored like this for up to a few hours before it begins to brown. I also like to squeeze additional lime juice on top before placing the plastic wrap.

How to open an avocado?

I love to use the OXO Good Grips 3-in-1 Avocado Slicer. I can use one end to slice the avocado open, then use the u0022pitteru0022 to twist the avocado pit safely, then scoop the flesh out with the other end of the slicer OR simply scoop out with a spoon. 4 Ingredient Guacamole Recipe (6)

How to make guacamole with one avocado?

If you only have one avocado you can still make this guacamole recipe with just one avocado. Simply follow this recipe but reduce the onion and lime to just one tablespoon and salt to ½ teaspoon.
