How to make Onion-Free Guacamole
To start – cut the avocados in half.
Scoop out the meat and place it in a mixing bowl.
Mash the avocados.
Cut the cucumber into medallions and cut out the seeds. I do this by taking each medallion and cutting a square shape around the seeds. You’ll end up with the seeds in a square piece that you can just throw out, and four long pieces you can use.
Chop the cucumber pieces finely (into tiny squares) as you would chop an onion for guacamole.
Add the finely chopped cucumber pieces to the avocado mash.
Next – finely chop the cilantro and add to the avocado-cucumber mixture.
Juice two limes, add to the mixture, and sea salt to taste.
Mix to make guacamole, and taste it.
Add more lime juice and salt if preferred.
Serve and enjoy! Store in the fridge in an airtight container for 1-2 days.
Tips to make the best Onion-Free Guacamole
- Make sure you get soft, ripe avocados. If your avocados are too hard, it will be challenging to mash them into guacamole.
- If you are going for the texture of standard guacamole, make sure you finely chop the cucumber and cilantro into very tiny pieces. Your guacamole will be chunky if the pieces are too big.
