Notes
- Guasacaca is tangier because it has Vinegar which Guacamole does not. Vinegar is a hallmark of traditional Venezuelan Guasacaca. The acidity of the Vinegar is key to Guascaca’s unique flavor.
- While White Vinegar is best for Guasacaca, you may substitute with Apple Cider or Red wine Vinegar if necessary.
- You can add more Avocado for a thicker and creamier consistency. However, do not add more onion as it will make the Guasacaca bitter (my mom’s advice!).
- Guasacaca is best stored in an airtight glass container in the refrigerator. It will keep fresh and green for about 5 days. Take out of the fridge 30-60 minutes before serving.
