Salma Hayek Pinault is very particular about her guacamole.
“How dare you!” Salma Hayek Pinault responds when asked if she makes or buys her go-to dip. “I make my own guacamole and I make different versions.”
In fact, the Mexican American actor says, it’s the one snack she can’t live without.
Here’s how she makes it:
“I like to do it with raw, chopped jalapeños. I put really nice olive oil in it. Limes instead of lemon,” she says, noting that she sometimes adds a dash of chili flakes for a a bit of heat. “It’s really nice with two different chiles, cilantro and sometimes tomatoes. Sometimes I mix the guacamole with green tomatillo sauce.”
The one ingredient you’ll never find in her guac? Onion.
“I don’t like onion,” Hayek Pinault says, matter-of-factly. “Sometimes, instead of the onions, I put a little bit of garlic and it’s absolutely delicious.”
Hayek Pinault is starring in another telenovela-inspired commercial for Kahlúa to promote its newly released Dunkin’ Caramel Swirl Cream Liqueur. The humorous ad, complete with exploding doors, dramatic accusations and gasping Munchkins, includes a mystery: “Who. Is. In. The. Cup?”
That question will be answered on the Oct. 23 episode of Bravo’s “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” at 10 p.m. EST. The cup — and whoever is in it — will be mixing caramel-forward drinks behind the late-night show’s bar.
