Mainly because it&rsquo;s so far removed from a traditional guacamole, I hesitate to even call it that (avocado salsa is more like it).  In fact, a Mexican former colleague of mine completely dismissed the notion that I could even make guac for lack of a <a title="Molcajete" href="http://guacamole-recipe.net/what-is-molcajete-guacamole-tips/">Molcajete</a> - a Mexican mortar and pestle made from a highly porous volcanic rock. Apparently, true guac can only be achieved in a Molcajete that has been pre-seasoned with a thin layer of ground poppy seed.</p>
