Making homemade guacamole without cilantro is easier than you may think. Enjoy yourself a delicious bowl of green dip for your chips and do it with a few fresh ingredients.
If you're like my husband, then you despise the taste of cilantro. Many people do in fact it's actually a common thing. That's okay because cilantro isn't always needed and in this case, the guac is better for it.
I make guacamole recipe without cilantro often (like a few times a month) and have made it this way for YEARS. My husband, youngest child, and I all love our simple guacamole recipe without cilantro, and when I make it this way and no other storebought or restaurant-style can stand up to the taste. My older child doesn't like avocados, but that just means more for us.

🍴 Recipe Tips
I like to mix together all of my no cilantro guacamole ingredients in a small mixing bowl or large cereal bowl depending on what I am serving it in. I usually mix in the same bowl I'm eating out of unless I'm trying to impress guests.
Avocados mash easily with the back of a fork and if they don't then they may not be ripe enough. You can microwave them for about 10-15 seconds to soften them up.
Removing an avocado pit is easy and far less dangerous when you use a ripe avocado. After slicing the avocado in half just take the half of the avocado with the pit and place the peel to the middle of your palm so that the pit is outward. Hold it firmly and start squeezing the half. The pit will pop right out. No knife stabbing issues to worry about when done this way.
💭 FAQs
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 I don't want chips dipped into green soap!
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!
Guacamole could last up to a few days in the fridge if you keep it properly stored. Keep it well contained in an airtight container or in a covered bowl tightly wrapped with plastic wrap. Having the plastic wrap pushed down so that it's touching the dip can help to prevent some browning. The best storage is using plastic wrap on top of the guac and keeping it in an airtight container.
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.
