    This is a simple and flavorful guacamole recipe made without cilantro for taste buds that have an aversion to it. This avocado based dip is made with just 6 ingredients that include bright and fresh flavors to bring out the best taste. It’s so easy, yet so irresistibly delicious, that you won’t be able to stop dipping into it! Whether you’re a lover of cilantro or not, this 15 minute recipe is the perfect dip for any occasion!

    We love to try all different kinds of appetizers like my fresh spinach dip and sheet pan nachos.

    This guacamole recipe is dedicated to my friend who hates cilantro—because to her, it tastes like soap! Did you know there’s a gene that makes the olfactory sensory nerves of some people pick up on the smell of certain chemicals in cilantro leaves, which are also present in soap? That’s a bummer, but no one should be deprived of delicious guac!

    My guacamole recipe still tastes amazing even without the cilantro, and for those of you who love cilantro, just double up on the recipe and add to your half.

    • Guacamole without Cilantro

    Ingredients & notes

    Ingredients: avocados, onion, lime, tomato, garlic and salt.

    Avocado – I use big avocados for their consistently great taste, texture and creaminess. 

    Lime – No guac is complete without lime, it brings acid and that big “bright” flavor.

    Tomato – I like to use roma tomatoes, they’re firm and have less water.

    Instructions

    Fork smashing a bowlful of avocados.

    Spoon out your avocado and mash with a fork, leaving big chunks.

    Smashed avocados with diced onion, tomatoes, garlic and salt.

    Add the rest of the ingredients and mix with a fork. Taste and adjust to your liking! 

    Pro Tips

    • To keep more texture with some chunky bits of avocado in the dip, don’t mash it up too much. 
    • If you like your guacamole creamy and smooth…mash away!
    • Make sure to deseed your tomatoes and only use the flesh. Deseeding the tomatoes will get rid of all the watery and seedy insides, preventing the guacamole from getting soggy and watered down. 
    • To store leftovers, use plastic wrap to cover the top of the dip, making sure to press out any air on the surface and sides of the container. Air will oxidize the avocado and turn it brown!
    • The guacamole keeps well overnight, up to 2 days. 
    • Optional: Garnish with roasted and salted pepitas and fresh pomegranate seeds! This combination adds amazing texture and will take your guac to the next level! Some of you may be guacamole purists (avo all the way), but it won’t hurt to try, trust me!

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How do I keep my guacamole from turning brown?

    Avocado turns brown when it oxidizes, meaning when it’s exposed to air, there’s a chemical reaction that turns it brown. To prevent this, you can squeeze additional lime juice on the top surface of the guacamole when it’s sitting out. Also when storing it, make sure to cover the surface with a plastic wrap to prevent exposure to air.

    What type of onion is best for guacamole?

    It depends on your taste. Yellow sweet onions are great, red onions will give it a sharper flavor and stronger taste. You can even use shallots too, which are milder than yellow onions.

    What can I eat with guacamole?

    There are so many options – tortilla chips, pita chips, carrot and celery sticks, toast, a salad, taco, burrito and rice bowl. Or even on your next burger!
