Best Guacamole Ever
I cannot even imagine how many times I’ve made vats of salsa and guacamole, and today I’m sharing the Best Guacamole Ever!
While living in New York City we enjoyed guacamole “made table side” for $15+ for two, using one avocado! Now that I know what it’s worth, I really enjoy whipping up a double batch for under five dollars! It’s so easy and always enjoyed and appreciated by our gang.
Okay, so you may be asking why it’s the best ever. I think it’s the perfect combo of flavors and it doesn’t have any mayonnaise or sour cream. I went to a party and was served a creamy guacamole and decided I didn’t like it, mine is the best guacamole ever!
All it needs are ripe, fresh, avocados, tomatoes, chiles, cilantro, and limes. Add salt and pepper, and keep it chunky. Don’t make it too smooth, that’s all. You’re going to love it!!!
“I suppose there are people who can pass up free guacamole, but they’re either allergic to avocado or too joyless to live.”

Sounds like you have plenty of time to plan and prepare Kari. We’ll be here cheering for you!!!!
What’s not to love here.. Being from California guacamole is not kind of staple here 🙂
Loved your recipe especially as you said “Add more garlic, jalapeno, onion, salt, lime juice, or cilantro .” yeah more the better it’s all great ingredients.
You are my kinda girl, enjoy!!!
I am making this tonight! I love guacamole, it’s my favorite because I don’t feel guilty eating it. I can’t wait, I have to run to the store now!
Is there anything worse than wanting to make guacamole really bad and find rock hard avocados at the store? Put them in a brown paper bag and close it up, and they will ripen up really fast!!!!
Guacamole is something I love to make and already knew how to make (I thought). Until reading this recipe. Now I have to try this out and compare it. So much to do in the kitchen here, every time I read your blog posts haha, I can’t keep up! <3 But this has to be tried asap. I love Mexican food and to make a guacamole is so easy and so tasty. Great post as usual!
Oh Sabine, we don’t mean to overwhelm you! Hang in there cause we love sharing with you and thanks for your kind comments.
I remember restaurants doing table side guacamole when I lived in CA. We loved it then and that was before I learned to cook, so I also thought guac was hard to make. All the same recipe looks yummy even if you aren’t beside my table making it. (Though you are welcome anytime)
You got it Annette, table-side at next year’s conference!!!!
I love avocados and guacamole. I like to keep my guacamole very simple with just avocados, salt. pepper and a bit of lemon juice.
I can’t imagine it without garlic, tomatoes, and cilantro and Alison would probably add bacon to hers as well!!!!
Yummy! This is pretty much how i like to make my guacamole as well. I love anything with avocado and guacamole is a favorite!
Well said Agnes, thanks!
What a great recipe to share around Cinco de Mayo! Our family loves guacamole, and we have never made it fresh. This seems so easy to follow.
You’ll never go back to store bought Leigh, fresh is so easy and much better! Thanks so much.
My husband would love this! I will have to make him some soon. guacamole is one of his favorite things to eat.
He is one lucky man Ashley, I appreciate your unselfish spirit!
I’ve actually just fallen in love with avocados! So I will have to definitely try this recipe! Ive never been a fan of guacamole before!
This guacamole looks VERY easy to eat – and it looks SO delicious as well – I would probably be enjoying this 🙂
I’ve recently really been enjoying avocados but I’m yet to make guacamole myself, you make it look so easy! I will definitely be giving your recipe a go!
You have a lot of recipes my boyfriend loves! Pinned 🙂 By the way, love your blog layout and logo! May I ask what blog platform you use?

Thanks so much Rosie!
One my favourite fruit (or is it vegetable?) is avocado. Just the other night a friend of mine made guacamole and served it just with tomotoes and radish – quite an interesting combo, but the guacomole was delicious. I think I will make it with your recipe tonight 🙂 ps. except I only skip cilantro!
Let us know please, rate our recipe!!!
I rarely try guacamolr but it looks splendid!! I am obsessed with salsa tok
I am so obsessed with salsa and guacamole! Try it out! It is a great compliment to the salsa!
I LOVE guacamole i will be making tacos this week so will definitely use your recipe. 😀
My Husband and I love Guacamole. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Can’t wait to try this out! Have pinned it for my reference.
I’ve never made my own guacamole but it’s one of my favourite snacks so I definitely should. I didn’t know that so many little things went into creating amazing guac 🙂
I just bought the ingredients for guac. 🙂 I’ll use your recipe and let you know how it goes!

Please do, Shanna! We would LOVE to hear what you think! 🙂
Yum! This look delicious! I want to try it!
Thanks MamaLacy! I know you will love our best guacamole ever!
This is such an easy recipe for making guacamole! And, $15 for a side, that’s way too steep, but that’s New York! I am trying this at home soon and Avocado is so creamy in itself that there’s no need for cream!
Yes, it is so much cheaper to make it yourself and really so much better, too!
Oh, I haven’t had a GOOD guacamole in a long time! I am going to try this recipe! It looks sooo good!

It seriously is the best! Try it and let us know what you think!
I love Guacomole! It’s just sad that avocados here in my location is not yet available. But I am always hoping to make one for myself only and enjoy it with chips!
looks great! I will be making this for my next church food event!
I am so glad you like it, Jessica! Wish I was at your church to have some! 🙂
