In the dip world, there is nothing quite as essential as guacamole [1]. The creamy dip [2] consists of perfectly ripe mashed avocado seasoned with salt. While there are hundreds of recipes [3], it's nice to have a simple one to start with. Once you've mastered the technique, it's easy to get creative with lots of variations [4]. You can experiment with different types of onion, substitute lemon or orange juice for the lime juice, and change the texture by blitzing in a food processor.
