Steps:
- Put avocados into bowl and mix with lime juice.
- Mix in other ingredients gently. Serve as soon as possible.
- You do not need salt with this unless you are one who cannot do without it.
- We use a couple jalapenos, but serrano or whatever juicy green chile you like should work fine.
- We eat this all year round and at least once a week. It's good for you! In hot weather we eat all of it between the two of us as a main course with tortillas or chips.
- My husband insists on having green onion in anything with onion, so I add this too, but it is not in the original recipe.

Steps:
- Halve and pit the avocados. Scoop out the flesh with a tablespoon into a mixing bowl. Mash the avocados with a fork, leaving them somewhat chunky. Add the remaining ingredients, and fold everything together to gently mix. Lay a piece of plastic wrap right on the surface of the guacamole so it doesn't brown and refrigerate 1 hour before serving.

Steps:
- In a medium-size bowl, mix the finely chopped onion and chiles with the optional tomato, garlic, and cilantro.
- Close to the time you are going to serve, halve the avocados lengthwise by cutting from the stem to flower ends, around the pits. Twist the avocado halves in opposite directions to loosen the meat from pits, then scoop out the pits, and reserve. Scrape the avocado pulp from the skins and add it to the bowl.
- Using your hand or a spoon, roughly mash the avocado while mixing in the other ingredients, making a course, thick mass. Flavor with salt, then enough lime juice to add a little zing, if you wish. Return the pits to the guacamole and cover with a sheet of plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface of the mixture. Set aside for a few minutes to let the flavors blend.
- The guacamole is very attractive in a pottery bowl or Mexican mortar, sprinkle with chopped onion, cilantro, radish slices and/or queso fresco (cheese); radish roses really dress it up.

Steps:
- Use a large knife to pulverise 1 large ripe tomato to a pulp on a board, then tip into a bowl.
- Halve and stone the 3 avocados (saving a stone) and use a spoon to scoop out the flesh into the bowl with the tomato.
- Tip the juice of 1 large lime, a handful of roughly chopped coriander, 1 finely chopped small red onion and 1 deseeded and finely chopped red or green chilli into the bowl, then season with salt and pepper.
- Use a whisk to roughly mash everything together. If not serving straight away, sit a stone in the guacamole (this helps to stop it going brown), cover with cling film and chill until needed.
