I may be the odd man out however after ten years living in Korea and Thailand, where much of the food is surprisingly low in salt compared to that of the West. I never did get COMPLETELY used to rice cooked with no salt at all (typical of those countries), but after a few years I was happy to eat it with kim chee or other things containing salt.<br /><br />So when I made this version of guacamole and tasted it, the first and strongest impression was of SALT, rather than of any of the nice ingredients. I would therefore recommend starting with 1/4 teaspoon salt, tasting, and going on from there. Also be aware that most bagged store-bought chips are already extremely salty.<br /><br />Moral of the story: Salt is damned tricky, and the correct amount probably depends on where you grew up, more than anything.<br /><br />That said, this is a perfectly nice guacamole recipe, simple and classic, and you will find yourself eating the whole bowl.beemohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18332482066910338995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-56711241969305593762015-12-01T17:23:52.663-05:002015-12-01T17:23:52.663-05:00Use a molcajete.

However, I think you could cut a few items from the list. Guacamole= avocado, salt, and lime juice. Chiles, onions, and cilantro are optional. In my opinion almost any other addition is an abomination.AKMoorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01036970721622866365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-28504271761337386852010-07-19T03:42:55.153-04:002010-07-19T03:42:55.153-04:00Thanks, Chef John!

I read in another website that I can substitute it with green bell pepper and 1/4 tsp of cumin. Do you think that will work? Other pepper varieties we have here are the chilli and the finger chillis. Hope to hear from you soon!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-46870736711939761542007-12-28T14:16:00.000-05:002007-12-28T14:16:00.000-05:00Haas avocados have been suspected to be helpful in...Haas avocados have been suspected to be helpful in preventing oral cancers...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
