Guasacaca is Venezuela's version of guacamole, and it is typically served as a condiment for grilled meats. This guasacaca recipe has a chunky texture that's perfect for chips,

Chopped avocado, green pepper, garlic, and tomato are the star ingredients, and vinegar keeps the avocado green instead of the more typical lime juice. Spice it up a little with Tabasco sauce for those who like it hot.

Serve guasacaca with chips, or with grilled steaks. It's delicious on burgers too.

Ingredients

  • 3 to 4 large avocados
  • 1 large onion
  • 1 green pepper
  • 1 red pepper
  • 1/2 cup tomato (chopped)
  • 3 to 4 cloves garlic
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup vinegar
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley
  • dash salt (to taste)
  • dash pepper (to taste)
  • dash Tobasco (or hot pepper sauce to taste)

Steps to Make It

  1. Mash one of the avocados. Chop the other avocados and mix them with the mashed avocado in a bowl. Stir in the vinegar and olive oil.

  2. Finely chop the red and green peppers, tomato, and the onion and add to the avocado.

  3. Mince the garlic and add to the mixture.

  4. Season the guasacaca with salt, pepper, and Tobasco sauce to taste.
