This vegan guacamole is creamy, tangy, flavorful and ideal as a dip for raw veggies, tortilla chips or flat breads. Quick, easy and always popular!
A good guacamole is an essential recipe to have in your arsenal. I mean even if you don’t like to cook you can still wow your friends with some good snacks when they come and visit and a good guacamole for a dip is part and parcel of some good snacks.
Don’t worry, I’ll use the word ‘good’ a few more times, I know I didn’t use it nearly enough there.
And really it’s so easy, it’s actually fool proof.
The only thing that could ever go wrong with making this guacamole, would be buying bad avocados to start with.
Provided you get good avocados, you’re golden. And you know they’re good when they’re firm but yield slightly to the touch.
How to Make Vegan Guacamole Dip
You will find full instructions and measurements in the recipe card at the bottom of the post. This is a summary of the process to go along with the process photos.
Simply smash up some deliciously ripe firm avocados and then add fresh lime juice, chopped red onion, cherry tomatoes, fresh cilantro, sea salt and black pepper, mix together and serve!
In 10 minutes, you can take a bag of chips and turn it into a gourmet treat because of this freshly made and delicious guacamole dip!
Ingredient Notes
- Avocados – should be ripe but firm. They should give a little when you press the flesh with your fingers but they should not be soft or over-ripe.
- Lime juice – should be freshly squeezed.
- Red onion – should be finely chopped.
- Cilantro – if you’re one of those people in the world who thinks cilantro tastes like soap (it’s a real thing), then switch out the cilantro for parsley or another fresh herb that you enjoy.
- Salt and pepper – season your guacamole to taste. If it’s bland at all, add more salt and/or pepper.
What To Serve With Guacamole
We served it with tortilla chips, but any chips work great with guac. Or flat breads. Or raw veggies, anything that needs a dip.
And of course it works equally well as a spread. So if you want it for sandwiches, rolls, pita breads, a pizza topping or anything else, go on with your bad self.
Make Ahead, Storing and Freezing
Make ahead: The fresh lime juice does keep this guacamole from going brown, so it can be made ahead of time. However, since it’s so quick to make, it is most ideal if you just have your separate ingredients ready but then slice and mash the avocados and get it all ready right before you want to serve it. This definitely tastes best when ultra fresh.
Storing: It can last 2-3 days in the fridge, and the lime juice will keep it from browning, but it is still going to taste best when freshest.
Freezing: Because of the additions to this guac, like cherry tomatoes and cilantro and chopped red onion, it’s not ideal for the freezer at all.

Fabulous recipe. So quick to make. Used as a topping for hot stuffed peppers.
Awesome! Thanks for the great review Clare!
Thank you for this recipe. I’ve just made it and it’s lovely. I have quite a bit left over so was wondering if you knew how long the leftovers would keep for in the fridge.
Thank you
Hi Chereene, it will keep for 2-3 days in the fridge. 🙂
Thank you for your recipe! Will make it tomorrow!
Super tasty and creamy! I added a garlic clove just because I love garlic and it’s amazing!
Awesome! Thanks Maria!
Roast the garlic next time
Super wie immer!

Thank you so much! 🙂
Looks delicious and I’m excited to try it!! (But…isn’t all guacamole vegan??)
Awesome Nick, hope you’ll enjoy it. How things are named is to do with keywords and not necessarily meant to imply that it isn’t usually vegan, but that being said sometimes sour cream or cheese or other dairy items is added to guacamole and so it’s not always vegan.
Yummy! Very easy and delicious. My son has an aversion to green foods.. but wolfed this down with your falafels! Thank you.
I love this but just add a bit of chilli to give it a little heat. yum
Ooooh great idea! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Oh, my! This was sooooo good! It’s a good thing I only made it with one avocado, because if I had made it with three avocados, I might not have been able to stop myself from eating it all. So simple and quick to prepare, and so delicious.
Brilliant! So glad you liked it! 🙂
Delicious snack!
