I generally just make my Guacamole-- with Mashed avocados, fresh garlic, lime juice and salt.
But, here is some other ideas you might try for Sundays Football games!!

No chilis, no cilantro? Boooooooooooo. It doesn’t have to be spicy but guac must have chilis IMO, if for nothing else a little texture. Cilantro also obligatory.
My recipe is to make spicy pico di gallo, add avocado and you’re done.
I am a recent convert to no tomato in my Guac just…
chopped serrano chilis, finely chopped sweet onion, microplaned garlic, mashed avocados lime juice and chopped cilantro and course salt
for 4-5 avocados,2-3 chilis, 1 large clove garlic and 1/4 large onion, juice of whole lime and a big handful cilantro
Adding crab sounds like a no-brainer. As much as I love Old Bay, not sure if is what I want in Guac.
Our basic one has avocado (smashed once with a potato masher) diced red onion, diced tomato, lime juice, garlic salt, onion salt and a dab of mayo.
Cilantro and chili’s are for salsa AFAIC.
Simpler is better with guacamole as with many things. Avocado, lime, salt. Done.
I have to agree…though the Guac at Boudro’s in San Antonio is pretty awesome with the onion, tomato, and orange… -mJ
Must have some chili pepper, onion and cilantro of some sort or it is merely avocado sauce. Garlic is optional but some of the best I’ve ever had included roasted garlic.
It’s only sauce if you over process it. Ours is chunky and never saucy.
Duh! Aioli without the garlic is “merely” mayonnaise and bearnaise without the tarragon is “merely” hollandaise.
Avocado, lime, salt. Chunky (thanks, Brian). End of story.
But you said that IS guacamole. That looks like avocado sauce to me or maybe avocado butter? Like its peanut butter if chunky or not.
Suit yourself, but what I said is guacamole is avocado, lime and salt. All that other stuff turns it into something else, just as adding chopped cherries to peanut butter makes it something different. I might grant you the chopped onion but I’d prefer you left it out. It’s to be a foil to the chiles elsewhere in the dish, not hot on its own.
I could see Serrano’s too.
I like stuff in mine. If I just want to eat salted avocado, I’ll eat a salted avocado.

Then I suppose you REALLY like guacamole.
