Chunky Avocado Guacamole

Every bad guacamole shares one of two faults: it has been blended smooth, or it has been under-salted.

Neither is about the avocado. Buy fruit that yields to gentle pressure at the stem end and the rest is seasoning and restraint.

Guacamole is a seasoning exercise, not a recipe. The avocado brings fat and nothing else; the lime, the salt and the onion bring everything you actually taste.

Make it ten minutes before it is eaten and it needs no tricks to stay green.
