Oh yea, it's as good as it looks and zesty too!
I found this delicious and simple guacamole recipe in one of my favorite children's books, Chicks and Salsa
HERE'S ALL I DID
- 1 large garlic clove, finely minced
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- the juice of 1 lime
- 2 avocados, cut into cubes
- 1/2 teaspoon salt or more to taste
A HANDY TIP
A simple trick to cutting an avocado into cubes; after removing the seed, score the flesh in a criss cross pattern then run a spoon around and under the flesh to remove it from the skin.
Bring all the ingredients together in a small bowl, toss lightly. You can mash half the avocados and leave half in cubes to make a chunky style dip. It's all up to you. Serve immediately.
If you're planning ahead, cover the guacamole with plastic wrap, being sure the wrap clings to the dip and the sides of the bowl. This will help keep the dip looking fresh.
Have fun today!
I love guacamole, I love anything with avocado in it. I think avocados are the best fruit ever. This guacamole looks delicious. Have you ever tried to make it with tomato? Yum yum!
I think I’ve had it with salsa mixed in – but not chopped tomatoes. do you have a recipe?
I tend to buy two avocados to make guacamole, and one to eat while I’m making guacamole.
Tour lucky I have to buy 6!! It a good thing they were on sale this week for $.68 ea now I’m going to have to have some guacamole. I may have told you before but I just put my avocados in the food processor add some salt maybe garlic onion and salsa and it’s done and soooo good. I also like avocados with just salt on them. They are also good mashed up spread on bread with sliced turkey, some kind of a white cheese and toasted in the toaster oven or topped with more bread with butter and grilled, which I call a panini haha

Is there a wrong way to eat an avocado, Darlene?
Like you, I can and I do, occasionally, just slice one open, sprinkle with salt & pepper and CHOW DOWN!
[...] tamale with a couple of fried eggs, then top the whole dish with spicy salsa. I added a dollop of holy guacamole and few drops of green habenero sauce, just for good [...]
nice, i like to see that is an origianl mexican guacamole, i’m staring with my blog i have one recipe of guacamole, perfect for carne asada
Here in the Middle East we have a great way for keeping avocado salads looking fresh. Take the seed and stick it back into your salad covering it up. The lime/lemon juice along with this re-inserted seed always does the trick. I don’t know why but it does!
This looks great, but I would have to add some hot sauce. I like my guac to bite a little!!
