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.

This entire thread is full of people bastardizing the shite out of something so simple
Sour cream, cottage cheese? frick it, just take it to the extreme and use mayo
Or maybe just give up on learning how to cook and drive to taco bell. Promptly jump off of a bridge after so I never have to read your posts again.
Jesus Christ
So what are your thoughts on nacho cheese on top

I like my guac really basic and simple.
Avocado
Lime juice (not much - in fact, very little)
Cilantro
Salt
Pepper
If I have some, I'll throw in diced peppers. Especially good if they're roasted.
I've never been a fan of tomatoes or salsa in it. White onion is good but easily overpowering.
Sour cream and fricking cottage cheese? I'll take it further than Powerman. Why not add some nonfat organic Greek yogurt with a splash of pomegranate you fricking yuppies?

Well, I'd perhaps state it differently, but I agree with you.

I have heard of people adding cottage cheese of all things to make it creamier. Anyone tried that?
Olive oil makes it creamier without altering the flavor negatively. I use your recipe essentially but add finely diced jalapeno too.

When I've been in Mexico, I get guac when I get the opportunity and it's always much better than in the states. They, never have visible onions or tomatoes in it. Not sure how those bastards make it taste so good with very few additions to basic avocado. Maybe it's just the simplicity...?

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

I don´t think Mejicanos use olive oil in anything.

4 avocados
half a purple onion
juice of one lime
salt
pepper
cilantro
garlic
serrano peppers
And if I'm feeling frisky, a green apple. Absolutely delicious.
Also optional, grilled corn.
No tomato in mine because I dislike the texture.

Yeah, I've eaten guacamole with "adventurous", are more inclusive, recipes that are damned good. I like the grilled corn, but I've never tried it with green apple.

Also, leave out any fresh tomatoes and just put in a squeeze of Heinz. Goes well with all Mexican recipes, so I'm told.

I agree with you. Most of the time I will add
Lime
Cilantro
Salt
Pepper.
If those 5 ingredients including avocado are in the perfect proportions and size it is near perfection. I prefer my avocado in chunks that are roughly grape sized then loosely tossed with the other ingredients.
Adding jalapeño, onion and tomato brings it a little closer to what we're used to.
I will add that you can only add tomato as long as it is diced very small and it cannot add tomato juice. If the tomato is very juicy I would definitely omit this ingredient.
For added pleasure save the avocado skin halves and fill with the prepared guac. Top with a dollop of sour cream and a couple of cilantro leaves for presentation. This makes for perfect serving sizes.
