Guacamole is comfort and celebration in one bowl. In Oaxaca, the ritual begins with ripe avocado and a squeeze of lime, then ends with a final, smoky touch — sal de gusano — that makes the whole thing feel grounded in place.
This version is simple by design. The worm salt brings depth without taking over, so the avocado stays creamy, the lime stays bright, and the story stays clear.
Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1.5 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1 tbsp finely diced onion
- 1 small tomato, diced
- 1 tbsp chopped cilantro
- Worm salt, to finish
Method
- Mash avocados in a bowl, leaving some texture.
- Stir in lime juice, onion, tomato, and cilantro.
- Taste for balance, then finish with a generous pinch of worm salt.
Ritual & Serving
Serve with warm tortillas or tostadas. Let the worm salt be the last note — it lifts the lime and deepens the avocado.
