A vibrant, tangy avocado sauce blended with cilantro, green pepper, vinegar, and oil — Venezuela's answer to guacamole but smoother and punchier.

Ingredients

  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 cup cilantro leaves
  • 3 tbsp white vinegar
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded (optional)
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. 1 Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor.
  2. 2 Blend until smooth or leave slightly chunky depending on preference.
  3. 3 Taste and adjust vinegar, salt, and pepper.
  4. 4 Transfer to a bowl and serve immediately.
  5. 5 Can be refrigerated for up to 2 days — press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent browning.

Did You Know?

Unlike Mexican guacamole, guasacaca is always blended smooth and contains vinegar — mixing up the two is a guaranteed way to upset a Venezuelan.
