A good guacamole is an essential recipe to have in your arsenal. I mean even if you don’t like to cook you can still wow your friends with some good snacks when they come and visit and a good guacamole for a dip is part and parcel of some good snacks (don’t worry, I’ll use the word ‘good’ a few more times, I know I didn’t use it nearly enough there 
).
And really it’s so easy, it’s actually fool proof.
The only thing that could ever go wrong with making this guacamole, would be buying bad avocados to start with.
Provided you get good avos, you’re golden (they should be firm but yield slightly to the touch).
Simply smash up some deliciously ripe avocados and then add some chopped red onion, cherry tomatoes, cilantro, fresh lime, sea salt and black pepper and there you have it!
In 10 minutes, you can take a bag of chips and turn it into a gourmet treat because of what you have now made available as a dip!
We served it with tortilla chips, but any chips work great with guac. Or flat breads. Or raw veggies, anything that needs a dip.
If you’re one of those people in the world who thinks cilantro tastes like soap (it’s a real thing), then switch out the cilantro for parsley or another fresh herb that you enjoy.
You will love this gorgeous guacamole, it’s:
- Creamy
- Tangy
- Shareable
- A perfect dip
- Simply fabulous!
And of course it works equally well as a spread. So if you want it for sandwiches, rolls, pita breads, a pizza topping or anything else, go on with your bad self.

March 25, 2018 at 1:25 amOh, my! This was sooooo good! It’s a good thing I only made it with one avocado, because if I had made it with three avocados, I might not have been able to stop myself from eating it all. So simple and quick to prepare, and so delicious.
