Preparation

Step 1

Soak the red onion in cold water for 5 minutes to take out the "bite."

Cut the avocados in half and carefully remove the pits. Cut the avocado into large cubes and scoop from the skin with a kitchen spoon. Place the avocado chunks in a large mixing bowl and mash with a fork.

Drain the chopped onion.

Add the lime juice, tomato (if using), scallions, red onion and cilantro, and adjust seasoning with the Tabasco sauce, salt and pepper.

Refrigerate the guacamole in a tightly covered storage container. It is best to make guacamole the same day it is to be served.
