2 avocados mashed up good with salt, pepper, cayenne, cumin to taste. Tablespoon or so of lime juice. Then fold in a bit of diced tomato and onion.

I have heard of people adding cottage cheese of all things to make it creamier. Anyone tried that?

Some people add sour cream or, apparently, cottage cheese. I hate the idea of either. No need to add dairy or to make it creamier.

I made some the other evening with cilantro, garlic, diced tomato, onion, salt, pepper, a little chili powder, cumin and lime juice. And after thinking about it, I should have used the purple onion rather than yellow.

I think I need to play around with the seasoning more.

The guacamole at Casa Borrega on OCH (discovered it last week) was interesting. It used a higher proportion of other "vegetables" to the avocado, and the lime juice (and maybe something else) was almost like a dressing.

It doesn't need to be creamier. That sounds awful

I like it a little on the chunky side. Avocado, white onion, lime juice, cilantro and salt. Sometimes I'll add some of the lime zest. Garlic powder can be a nice touch also, just use it sparingly.

Not a fan of putting tomatoes in mine but some people like that.

3 ripe avocados - they need to give slightly when pressed with my thumb. Chunky cut with about a third of the pulp mashed. I scrape the dark green residue from the inside of the peel as best as I can because I like the color and flavor of that part of the flesh.
2 Tablespoons finely chopped onion
Half of a medium tomato, peeled and diced.
Juice of half of a lime, maybe more / maybe less to get the taste I want.
2 teaspoons Lawry's garlic salt Maybe more to get the taste I want.

Chill - covered with plastic wrap pressed against surface to block oxygen. Serve cold.

I don't like the big green avocadoes. I prefer the black ones and they must be ripe.

Sometimes (not often) a tablespoon or two of coarsely chopped crispy bacon.

Olive oil makes it creamier without altering the flavor negatively. I use your recipe essentially but add finely diced jalapeno too.

The best way to make it creamy is to add a small amount of olive oil. That what the guys in mehico do.
