Don't Shy Away From Onion & Garlic

Onion is a standard ingredient in modern guacamole, but the type of onion you use will depend on your personal preference. Red onion is sweeter and gentler in flavor than the sometimes acrid yellow onion, while white onion strikes a nice balance between the two. Spring onions or shallots can also be substituted, as both will bring a nice clean flavor to your guacamole. That being said, we prefer red for its flavor and the pop of color it provides against the avocado. Be sure to mince it finely, so it doesn't overpower the rest of the ingredients. And unless you're averse to garlic, don't be afraid to add one finely chopped clove for added flavor dimension.
