    Making homemade guacamole without cilantro is easier than you may think. Enjoy a delicious bowl of green dip for your chips, and do it with a few fresh ingredients.

    Recipe: $2.37 | Per Serving: $0.59 | Servings: 4

    a blue bowl filled with guacamole.

    If you're like my husband, you may not enjoy the taste of cilantro, and that's quite common. But fear not, this guacamole is better off without it.

    My husband, youngest child, and I all adore this simple cilantro-free guacamole recipe. Its flavor surpasses any store-bought or restaurant-style version, rivaled only by my Tomato Jalapeno Salsa.

    With creamy avocado, crisp onions, and juicy tomatoes, every bite offers a delightful blend of flavors and textures.

    I frequently prepare guacamole without cilantro, often a few times a month, and have done so for years. Just don't forget the Air Fryer Tortilla Chips!

    Enjoy this guacamole any night of the week, especially on Taco Tuesday paired with favorites like Lazy Enchiladas With Taquitos, Cheesy Bean and Rice Burritos, or Taco Mac and Cheese (with Rotel).

    🍯 Why This Recipe Works

    1. Simple ingredients. Guacamole is all about simple ingredients coming together to create something flavorful and delicious. This recipe uses minimal foods for maximum flavor.
    2. It's customizable. This dip can easily be customized to suit your tastes. Want it chunky? Smooth? More tomatoes? Less? Etc. There's so much room for possible adjustments.
    3. It tastes great. I mean, I wouldn't be sharing it here if it didn't. But this guacamole recipe is so gosh darn tasty that it goes well with EVERYTHING. My youngest son thinks it tastes best with his fingers, but I'd recommend at least using a spoon if you're over the age of 5.

    🥘 Ingredients

    ingredients needed to make guacamole without cilantro.

    Ingredient Notes:

    Avocados- You'll want some ripe avocados for this recipe. Too ripe and they'll be brown, and not ripe enough means hard to mash and firm.

    Roma tomato- You'll need a nice and juicy tomato for added freshness, color, and moisture.

    Lime juice- Adding in lime juice is essential in helping to prevent browning. It also adds a nice freshness to the dip.

    Salt- This is a natural flavor enhancer so if you feel the dip is a little bland, add a little more salt to kick it up a notch.

    For specific ingredients and measurements, please see the recipe card below.

    🔪 Instructions for Guacamole Without Cilantro

    Step 1: In a bowl, mash your avocado until the texture is as desired. Smooth or chunky.

    Step 2: Add in all of the other ingredients and mix to combine.

    Step 3: Taste and adjust flavors if necessary.

    🍴 Recipe Tips

    1. Mixing Ingredients- Combine all the ingredients for your no-cilantro guacamole in a convenient mixing bowl, preferably one you plan to serve from. This simplifies both preparation and serving, offering ease and convenience.
    2. Softening Avocados- For easy mashing, ensure your avocados are ripe enough. If they're not, a quick fix is microwaving them for 10-15 seconds to soften them up, making them more manageable.
    3. Pitting Avocados Safely- When dealing with ripe avocados, pitting them becomes a breeze. Simply slice the avocado in half, hold the half with the pit firmly in your palm, and gently squeeze. The pit should pop out effortlessly, eliminating any need for risky knife maneuvers.

    👩🏻‍🍳 Storage

    Freshness Duration: Guacamole stays fresh for a few days in the fridge if stored properly.

    Storage Method: Keep guacamole tightly sealed in an airtight container or covered bowl. Also, use plastic wrap pressed directly onto the dip's surface to prevent browning.

    Preventing Browning: For best results, use both plastic wrap and an airtight container. This keeps air out and preserves the guac's color and flavor longer.

    💭 Recipe FAQs

    What can I use instead of cilantro in guacamole?

    You can leave it out (like this recipe directs) or substitute it for parsley. That would of course leave a different flavor altogether, and some people even report that parsley tastes like soap. I don't know about you, but that doesn't sound delicious.

    Can you freeze guacamole?

    I wouldn't recommend freezing this guacamole recipe. With the watery tomatoes and onions, the results won't be pleasant by the time that the guac thaws. For best results, eat fresh!

    Is guacamole healthy?

    Oh, you bet it is! With a combination of healthy fats, vegetables, and minerals in every bite, you can bet it's one of the best snack options out there. The unhealthy part comes in with the chips. To keep this dish healthy from the beginning till the end, use healthier chip alternatives such as baked instead of fried.
