Guacamole

The main ingredient is mashed avocado, making guacamole a smoothie compared with salsa, though the additions are much the same. Guacamole can be made in a blender, or processor, more speedily, but aficionados prefer the rougher texture of a hand mixed, hand chopped version. Your choice. The proportions given make about 600 ml (1 pint); double up for a party.
