It is better to take onions for guacamole from avocado in small sizes so that it does not interrupt the taste and aroma of other ingredients.

- Divide the fruit in half. To do this, first make a cut along the fruit around the entire circumference, cutting the flesh to the bone.
- Next, the halves of the avocado are turned in opposite directions relative to each other, thereby alienating the pulp from the core.
- To remove the bones, put avocados on a cutting board. Remove your hands from the table to avoid injury. Taking a knife, very carefully hit them on the bone, ensuring that the blade plunges a bit into the core. Turn the knife around its axis and take out the core.
