Ingredients
Traditional Mexican Guacamole
Furikake Guacamole
Middle Eastern Guacamole (Zaatar)
Instructions
Traditional Mexican Guacamole
- Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
- Mash the avocado to your desired consistency—chunky or smooth.
- Add the finely chopped onion, jalapeno, and cilantro to the bowl.
- Season with salt, coriander, cumin, and a pinch of cayenne or chili flakes.
- Squeeze in the juice of one lime and mix everything together.
- If using tomato, fold it in gently at the end. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Furikake Guacamole
- Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
- Mash the avocado to your desired consistency.
- Add the finely chopped scallions and fresh ginger.
- Stir in the soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, and salt.
- Add the chili flakes and mix well.
- Top with Furikake seasoning just before serving for the best texture.
Middle Eastern Guacamole (Zaatar)
- Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
- Mash the avocado to your desired consistency.
- Add the minced garlic, finely chopped onion, and Italian parsley.
- Season with salt, coriander, cumin, and sumac.
- If using tahini, drizzle it in and mix to combine.
- Add the lemon zest and juice, then stir everything together. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Notes
- For best results, use perfectly ripe avocados—they should yield to gentle pressure but not be mushy.
- Each variation pairs well with different chips or breads: traditional with tortilla chips, Furikake with wonton crisps, and Middle Eastern with warm pita.
- Guacamole is best served fresh, but pressing plastic wrap directly onto the surface can help prevent browning if storing briefly.
