I love chips and guacamole. We make it about once a week around my house. I’ve tested different recipes and I want to share with you my favorite recipe for The Best Guacamole. Plus this will be great to have for a Cinco De Mayo Fiesta!!

I love avocados. They taste delicious and they are healthy for you. Here are some fun healthy facts about avocados from WebMD. Plus avocados are one of the “good” fats. This is a plus for the hair, makes it nice and shiny!

Back to the guacamole.

You will need: Avocados, salsa, garlic salt and a lime (Full recipe at end of post).

I use my mom’s homemade salsa, but any kind will do.

Smash the avocados with a fork and mix in the other ingredients. Serve with chips!

Servings: 2

Author: Emily Benson

Ingredients

avocado
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
2 tablespoons salsa
juice from 1/2 lime

Instructions

Smash avocado
Add garlic salt, salsa and lime juice
Mix
Serve with chips

Notes

Tip: cut avocados in half and cut small squares in the avocado, but not going through the skin. Then scoop out with a spoon. This makes it easier to smash the avocado.
Tip: You don't have to be exact with all the measurements. Use as much or little as you want to taste.

Wow! That looks so good. I am crazy for guacamole and could easily inhale a whole bowlful. My husband has a recipe that has a bunch of things like cilantro and diced red onion, but this looks easy enough for me. I am not the best cook. Can’t wait to try it!

Your guacamole recipe looks great, thanks and I’m saving it for sure!

Mine is nearly identical but I add some sour cream too.

Delicious!!! Thank you so much for participating in ‘Time for a Party’ at the Fine Craft Guild. Love you contributions!! ~ Rose
