Guest guest Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 A friend is a new Vitamix owner and made her first guacamole. She found the cilantro, which she put in last, wrapped around the blade. Should she have run the VM longer or ????? Unfortunately, I'm not lucky enough to own a VM so can't help her. Thank you for any suggestions. Nan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 One other thing Nan, if you could direct her to the Salsa Recipe on my website - I explain how different ingredients require different blade speeds. I would never put cilantro in last - it requires a much higher blade speed (and preferably an almost empty container) to get it all chopped up, and you wouldn't want to whip up your avocado (which requires a much slower, stirring kind of blade speed).My recipes aren't just recipes - they are also "how to" tutorials! :-) Blessings,Lea Ann SavageSatellite Beach, FL(321) 773-7088 (home)(321-961-9219 (cell)))><'>www.VitamixLady.comwww..com<))>< On Jan 5, 2012, at 10:20 AM, Lea Ann Savage wrote: I always use scissors to cut the stems into pieces as I put the cilantro in - makes it much easier to NOT get wrapped around the blades. I do the same with celery - not hard to hand break a stalk into 4 pieces, or roughly chop a stalk of celery with a knife (I actually love my ULU knife for this - Google that ;-)FYI - my favorite Guacamole recipe is to make Salsa, then leave some in the container and add Avocado! It is up to the taste of the chef to determine how many avocados and how much salsa to leave in the container… Blessings,Lea Ann SavageSatellite Beach, FL(321) 773-7088 (home)(321-961-9219 (cell)))><'>www.VitamixLady.comwww..com<))>< On Jan 5, 2012, at 10:13 AM, wrote: A friend is a new Vitamix owner and made her first guacamole.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 I'm into simple. I have always just taken left over salsa and added a couple of avocados… Blessings,Lea Ann SavageSatellite Beach, FL(321) 773-7088 (home)(321-961-9219 (cell)))><'>www.VitamixLady.comwww..com<))>< On Mar 19, 2012, at 10:02 AM, Kat Rat wrote: Who has a great recipe for guacamole?

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 I have one. From the book raw food made easy by Cornbleet. 1 ripe avocado 1 1/2 teaspoons minced onion 1 teaspoon lime juice 1 clove crushed garlic ((or 1/2 tsp) Dash salt Dash cayenne Mash together with a fork. Serve chunky. My tip, if you make it before you need it, or have leftover, put the pit in with the guacamole and it will help delay browning. > > Who has a great recipe for guacamole?
