This week's recipe is super easy, doesn't involve cooking (yay!) and is a great summer snack. Years ago I tried guacamole and HATED it. I avoided it for many years up until this spring. I tried it at
Rosa Mexicano and had to make my own instantly!
Here's how I make mine:
- 3 ripe avocados
- 2 vine ripe tomatoes
- 1 small onion chopped
- 1 clove garlic chopped fine
- ½ lime juiced
- 1/3 cup chopped cilantro
- Salt pepper to taste
- Add jalapenos if you want a little kick.
Mix the ingredients. Eat with tortilla chips, baked tortillas, or even pita bread.
A close up of the guacamole. One of the blogs I read said she used olive oil as her special ingredient--if that's you, please let me give you credit.
What's YOUR recipe for guacamole? What's your secret ingredient?
Oh how i love guacamole. I could seriously eat it breakfast/lunch/dinner... is that weird?

I am such a fan of guacamole and we often make it in my house! I use as an extra a bit of soya sos...It adds a great feel to it:) This looks amazing:)

I love guacamole! - Avocados have too much of water content and they don't make good, creamy guacamole.
ReplyDeletelooks tasty mmmm
ReplyDeleteYou had me at ''no cooking''! ;D This is a fantastic recipe, thanks for sharing!

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the comment! I don't really have a method-I'm just trying to pay more attention to the amount and the content of what I eat. So.

I am a huge fan of the guac too! I consider its own food group. Boudros in San Antonio has perhaps the best guac I have tasted in my travels across the US. A must if you are traveling in Texas.

MMM I love a good serving of guacamole... especially paired with some fresh tortilla chips and a margarita. Never heard about using olive oil. I'll have to try that!
ReplyDeleteThat looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteGotta love good guac! I unfortunately have a phobia of cilantro!
ReplyDeleteSo funny, I've been asking friends for good guacamole recipes lately. Will definitely have to try this one!! It looks delish :)
ReplyDeletei love love love guacamole. i know there are a lot of things in this world that i have not tried, but it just blows my mind that some people have never tried it!! :)
ReplyDeletei make mine with garlic salt and pepper. that's it. simple and delicious.
more food. oh gosh, it looks so yummy
ReplyDeleteGuacamole is one of my favorite things in the world. If I'm feeling particularly lazy I think it's just as good with just a mashed up avocado with some lime juice and salt! I'll call it "Guacamole for Cheaters" voila!
ReplyDeleteI realize that guac should be easy to make, but every time I've tried it's been such a fail... Time to try again, because this looks fab!

That looks so good! I use a similar recipe when I make my guacamole. I usually use shallots instead of white onion and sometimes I puree my guacamole in my food processor, depending on my mood.
