Taking into account the fact that most overseas fruits today can be easily purchased at your nearest supermarket, we suggest you learn how to prepare a bright, tasty and nutritious Mexican avocado sauce - guacamole. Check out our selection of step-by-step recipes.
The History of Mexican Avocado Dip
Many centuries ago, avocados were considered inedible. However, the brave princess of the Mayan tribe still dared to try the fruit, for which she was rewarded with enlightenment, eternal youth, and beautiful children. So says the ancient legend, the truth of which only time knows. However, now this is no longer so important, because avocado has firmly entered many cuisines of the world and continues to be one of the leaders in benefits among many other fruits.
Avocado has been voted the most nutritious fruit in the world. On September 25, 1988, the corresponding information was entered into the Guinness Book of Records.
Who came up with the idea of making wonderful guacamole from this wonderful fruit? The name of the sauce comes from the Aztec words “ahuacatl” (avocado) and “molli” (sauce), so there is an opinion that it was these Indian people who came up with the recipe, which is still popular today. According to other written sources, the first information about guacamole is found in English and Spanish written references that date back to the beginning of the 20th century. Either way, the sauce has a history, with roots going back to traditional Mexican cuisine.
What is it made from and what is it served with?
In addition to the main ingredient - avocado, the essential components of the simplest guacamole are lime (or lemon) juice and salt (ideally sea salt).
However, taking into account the fact that all recipes are subject to changes and additions by culinary experts, you can find options with the addition of hot and/or bell peppers, tomatoes, onions, garlic, herbs (most often cilantro), and various seasonings. Olive oil is a common ingredient in the dish; mayonnaise is less commonly found in recipes.
It should not be surprising that on culinary sites there are recipes for exotic foods with the addition of fruits, cheese, meat, fish and seafood. Everyone prepares this dish to their own taste!
Traditionally, the sauce is served with Mexican corn tortillas.. In addition, guacamole is good with bread, regular or thin pita bread, crackers and any chips and toast.
It should also be prepared as a side dish for meat and fish dishes, or as a salad for pasta and potatoes: to do this, simply cut the ingredients specified in the recipe larger and do not puree the dish.

We bring to your attention a classic recipe that is used more often than others.

Recipe from Jamie Oliver
The world-famous chef Jamie Oliver did not ignore the exotic sauce. Its preparation version can be found on the “delicious” pages of many peoples of the world. The ingredients of the sauce are not much different from other options, but the Naked Chef suggests pureeing the avocado pulp using a blender rather than mashing it by hand.
You will need the following ingredients:
- 2- ripe avocados;
- 5–6 cherry tomatoes;
- 1–2 limes;
- 2 stalks of green onions;
- 1 small chili;
- several sprigs of fresh cilantro;
- 1 tablespoon olive oil;
- salt and ground black pepper to taste.
Preparation:
- Place a few sprigs of fresh cilantro, a couple of green onions, and a small chili pod (deseeded) in the bowl of a blender or food processor. Grind food using the device at medium speed.
Chop cilantro, green onions and chili
- Remove the pits from the avocado. Jamie Oliver suggests doing this by removing the stem of the fruit and pressing firmly on it so that the flesh slides out of the shell. However, it is worth noting that this option is only suitable for very ripe fruits. If the avocado is a little hard, you can simply cut it in half, remove the seeds with a spoon or knife, and then separate the flesh from the skin in a more conventional way.
The next step is to peel and pit the avocado.
- Place the avocado and cherry tomatoes in a blender bowl and blend again at low speed.
Mix greens, avocado and cherry tomatoes

Avocado chocolate mousse
Serve with fruit, biscuit, strawberries. Looks very tempting! Chocolate avocado mousse is no longer a sauce, but an original sweet dessert that you can surprise your guests with and indulge yourself.
Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado
- 100 gr. instant cocoa powder
- A pinch of vanillin
- 50 gr. any sweet syrup (raspberry, strawberry, etc.)
- 50 gr. heavy cream
Chop the avocado and place in a food processor. Add cocoa, vanillin, cream, syrup. Mix for about 30-40 seconds until the mousse reaches the desired consistency. Cool in the refrigerator. Avocados cannot be stored in the refrigerator; they are a tropical fruit that does not like low temperatures.
If the avocado is not yet ripe, it is best to store the avocado in a paper bag in a dark, dry place until ripe. Peeled avocado oxidizes quickly, so lemon juice is added to dishes. Avocado is a fertile ground for any kitchen experiments. Please note that to prepare sauces you need to use only fresh, ripe avocados.
