Ingredients to make Guacamole without Onion
The ingredients to make the guacamole are simple and fresh. You don't need to grab a cart full of things from your local grocery store because this recipe only requires 7 ingredients and onion is not one of them.
Avocados - look for firm but not too firm, more on this later
Roma Tomato - not as juicy as other types of tomatoes making it a great mix in. If you don’t like tomatoes you can leave them out
Garlic - fresh and minced, garlic powder will not do in this recipe.
Lemon Juice - to brighten up the flavor, fresh lime juice can be substituted
Cumin - this takes the guacamole to the next level
Salt - without salt it’s bland, experiment with using sea salt or pink Himalayan salt
Cilantro - chopped, use as much or as little as you’d like
How to Make Guacamole Without Onion in 2 Steps
Step 1: Slice the avocados in half and remove the pit. Score the avocados with a knife into cubes. Using a spoon, remove the flesh from the rind. Place the avocados in a bowl.
Step 2: Add chopped tomatoes, garlic, lemon, cumin, salt, and cilantro. Stir to combine all the ingredients. If you’re going for more of a chunky casero style, don’t over mix just leave chunky. If you want something creamer, use your spoon to press down on the avocado to mash it and stir more. It will eventually become a nice creamy texture. Serve immediately or refrigerate until serving.

How to Make Guacamole Last Longer
We all want guacamole to last longer and to keep it green. For so long I’ve been told that keeping the pit in the guacamole will help preserve the color and freshness. After trying this a few times, I’ve found that this doesn’t work the way I thought it would. The part around the pit stays fresh because those parts aren’t exposed to oxygen.
The most common way to keep the guacamole without onion fresh is by using water. It’s cheap and effective. Simply place the guacamole in an airtight container. Flatten the guacamole with a spoon creating an even surface and making sure to remove any air bubbles.
Add some water over top of the guacamole. Make sure to add enough water so that it’s about 1/2 inch up the sides. Add the lid to the airtight container and place in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you’re ready to eat gently pour out the water. Stir the guacamole and you’re good to go!
