How to make Guacamole Paulista

Why cooks start here

Guacamole Paulista is cooked the way São Paulo bars cooks it — salt judged by hand, fat used generously, and the table set for sharing. This is the home version, written down the way a brazilian family cook actually puts it on the table.

Guacamole Paulista is a vibrant twist on the traditional Mexican dip, brought to life in the bustling bars of São Paulo. It's a dish that reflects the city's dynamic culinary scene, where ingredients are celebrated in their freshest form. Often enjoyed as a shared bar snack, this guacamole is perfect for casual gatherings, embodying the lively spirit of São Paulo's social culture. The creamy richness of ripe avocados is accented by the bright acidity of lime and the fresh zest of cilantro. Diced tomatoes and onions add texture, while a pinch of fine sea salt ties the flavors together. The final result is a smooth and flavorful spread that invites you to dive in with crispy tortilla chips, savoring each bite as the flavors meld seamlessly on your palate.
