Guacamole sans Cilantro Recipe
Homemade guacamole involves nothing more than mashing together a handful of ingredients for a few minutes. The flavor of fresh guacamole is far superior to the shelf-stable glop in the supermarket, so go for it and make your own. Serve it with some chips and salsa, and you’ve got yourself an instant party. It’s also a delicious accompaniment to quesadillas.
What to buy:
Look for avocados that give slightly when pressed but are not completely soft. We used Hass avocados in this preparation.

- 9 large avocados (about 3 pounds)
- 1 medium Roma tomato (about 1/4 pound), finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons thinly sliced scallions
- 1 to 2 medium serrano chiles, seeded and minced
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- Halve avocados, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a large mixing bowl. Mash with the back of a large fork or a potato masher to make a chunky paste.
- Add tomato, cilantro, scallions, chiles, lime juice, and salt, and stir to combine. Taste, adjust seasoning as needed, and serve immediately.

Excuse the spelling; I meant diced white onions.
"Sans" means without cilantro. Great recipe; I don't put cilantro in my guacamole either. My mother used scallions but I use dices white onions and I sometimes don't put chiles in if I have very picky guests or I'll make 2 different batches, one with - one "sans".
You indicated add cilantro in the instructions but none in the recipe ingredients!!
