Ingredients

4 ripe Haas avocados
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (1 lemon)
8 dashes hot pepper sauce
1/2 cup small-diced red onion (1 small onion)
1 large garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 medium tomato, seeded, and small-diced

Directions

Cut the avocados in 1/2, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh out of their shells into a large bowl. (I use my hands.) Immediately add the lemon juice, hot pepper sauce, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper and toss well. Using a sharp knife, slice through the avocados in the bowl until they are finely diced. Add the tomatoes. Mix well and taste for salt and pepper.

A few more ingredients...
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is my standby guac, but I tweeked mine a little. I use lime instead of lemon. I add 1 1/2 tsp cumin. And I stir in fresh... chopped cilantro at the very end. But even without the extras, I've made this for years and people are always asking for the recipe. "Family secret!" ;-)Read more

I've made this guacamole numerous times because it is super easy to make and delicious!! Everyone loves it! The only thing... I do different is instead of adding lemon juice, I use lime juice. Thanks again Ina!Read more

Best with the Hass avacado as in the recipe. I have made it with Florida avacados, but it is a finer guacamole and more... runnyRead more

Not a big fan of the Contessa...This recipe is OK, though, although not as good as Alton's
