Using A Blender? – Guacamole Tips

There are two schools of making guacamole when it comes to blenders or actually making this dip in general. The traditional way to make it is of course without a blender and mostly/only using ingredients that go into original authentic guacamole. So anybody who thinks that guacamole must be exactly the way it was should ditch the blender and use a molcajete. This is the most authentic way to go. If you don’t have molcajete then use a bowl and the back of a spoon or a fork to mash the avocados.

Now the second school would not call themselves school because they don’t care – they want guacamole and they want it as fast as possible using any additional ingredients to spice things up. So blender all the way!

And me? I like to take the middle road.

I like my guacamole smooth but with some chunks here and there. So I usually put 3/4 of avocados and onions into the blender and mix and then hand mash the remaining 1/4 of avocados and hand mince the remaining onions and add them to the mix. This was guacamole is smooth but still has some structure.
