Good, but seemed to be missing something. Perhaps a little sour cream to thicken it and some hot sauce or jalapeno to give it a little kick. Very easy to make and will try again.
Very flavorful guacamole. I cut up the tomato very very fine and added 2T sour cream for a creamier texture. Thanks Denise. This was very yummy.
Love it! Easy to make & quick. To add a little kick, I substitute cayenne pepper for black pepper. Used 3 avocados & 3-4 fresh minced garlic cloves. If you like it spicy!
was first time making Guac. but made it for a room of lovers, and they all commented good things on this recipe.
This recipe was perfect! I'm a big garlic fan, so I added extra crushed garlic for flavor.
This was fast and great. The only thing I did differently was add a little fresh cilantro. Rather than tortilla chips, I served it with Snack Factory Pretzel Crisps which was a tasty twist.
Excellent recipe! I've stopped buying guacamole at the store since finding this recipe -- this tastes so much better! Remember to leave in one avocado pit to prevent browning.
This was just ok, I would suggest not to add the entire juice of the lime. It was a bit much. It did not have the punch I expected. Will alter it a bit next time. Thanks!
Thanks for a delicious recipe, my 4 year old and 18 month old ate it with spoons, didn't even need chips it was so good! I used the recommendations to add vinegar, sour cream, salsa and cilantro. I also saved 1/2 an avocado and just chopped it for a chunkier texture, delicious!
This was so easy and fast! It did taste best after it sat in the refrigerator for an hour or so. It is great on tortilla chips and with carne asada! I'll definitly make it again.
This is much like the recipe I use to make guacamole, except I don't use garlic and I add cilantro.
I have a bit of aversion to green slimy foods, and so I'm fairly new to guacamole. But we're trying to add some healthy fats to our diets, this was simple, so it was the first version I ever tried. It's delicious! I don't normally have tomatoes on hand since I don't care for them on their own, so I use a bit of salsa in its place, and add a bit of chipotle powder since I like that warm smoky flavour. We use this to dip crackers or chips in, or as a sandwich spread.
Great recipe! Definitely a must for any party or mexican dinner. Thanks for the recipe!
Awesome guac! Made it for a Cinco de Mayo party and it was gone in a flash. I used a little less lime, used a red onion (a little more than what was called for), and home made pico de gallo instead of tomatoes. It was incredible.
Fantastic! Have used this for years, cilantro for me, but exactly as written for my husband. Here is a "tool tip" for avocado receipies. Cut the avocado in half, around the pit. Hold the half that contains the pit in one hand, and "chop" your knife to the pit (kind of like a hi-ya motion) with your knife now "stuck" in the pit, just give a gentle turn and the pit will release easily from the avocado. Run your knife through the avocado one way and then the opposite, and use a spoon to run between the skin and fruit to scoop out perfect chunks! Very quick, very easy!
This recipe is so simple and so great...I really liked it. I added cilantro and a bit more garlic. Next time I'm going to put a few chile peppers to add some heat.
If you want a little kick- try adding SERRANO peppers for spiciness. Cilantro is a must and kosher salt instead of regular salt. I used to work at a Mexican restaurant where we had to make tableside guacamole :-)
Very simple recipe but it needs more spices to deserve 5 stars. I added fresh cilantro, ground cumin and half a yellow jalapeño.
This is an incredible recipe--easy, and always a hit. I have made this multiple times, always to rave reviews. I use slightly less lime juice and like fresh cilantro, but it's not necessary. Fresh and delicious every time!
true to its word, this recipe is very quick and easy to make, and tastes great! used lemon juice instead of lime because thats what we had on hand.
Great! I used a few tblsp of med. salsa instead of the tomatoe, and it turned out great. Oh ya, added LOTS of garlic too :)
Pretty good stuff. Added cilantro for more bite.
Good! Add a heaping tablespoon of sour cream; a small can of green chiles and a few shakes of tabasco and you might like it even more.
Quck, easy, delicious as is. Easy to add your own ideas too (pepper, cilantro, tomato, hot sauce). Thanks!
This is my basic recipe. I do not use garlic as it takes from the avacado. I do, however use jalapenos to taste, chopped fine. OR, you can use just a little jalapeno juice if you are serving younger children. Leave out the garlic and you'll have a great recipe.
Fabulous! Love this for both taste and ease of prep. I added 1 can of green chili peppers or a half of a jalapeno (de-seeded and with white membrane removed) chopped fine, because we like it spicy, but for guests, I leave it out.
Great recipe that can be easily adjusted to your taste. I left out the garlic and added some cilantro. Even blended everything together to make a smooth guacamole.
Absolutely stupendous. Just remember to read the directions completely, especially if you don't enjoy a limey taste. I never thought I could make a decent Guacamole. Thank you very much for this recipe.
This was really really good. It didn't last at all even though I doubled the recipe. We were all full and could barely eat dinner. I added cilantro and hot peppers to give it a little twist and got a lot of compliments. I will definitely use this recipe again. Thanks for submitting.
This was incredible guac. I made it in no time and we ate it in no time:0) I'll definitely make this again.
This recipe was absolutely wonderful! I didn't have a lime on hand so I used lemon....It was great! I also didn't have a masher, so I used a fork to mash the avacado. The onion and garlic gave it just the right amount of kick. I cut the recipe in half and used about 1/4 cup of onion, and I actually mashed the onion and the avacado together a little before adding everything else. This was a real treat compared to restaurant guacamole (which is usually made from powder). I used all organic ingredients, as usual, and this guacamole really made my nachos taste great! So delicious! Thanks for sharing this fabulous recipe!
This is the best, no more guacamole packets mixes for me, you just don't need it..This has all the flavors
Great and simple recipe! I think I will add a little extra garlic and jalapenos next time for an extra kick! Great for movie nights!
I replaced the lime with 1-2 tablespoons on lemon juice (2 T = very lemony, if you like that) and 2 tablespoons of salsa for the tomato. I also used 1 tablespoon of dehydrated onion to control the onion strength a bit better. Fantastic!
This guacamole tasted great! I don't like the crunch of onion in my guacamole so I substituted some onion powder. I also used 1 Tb of lemon juice instead of lime since that's what I had on hand.
The recipe seems bland and after reading the recipes I agreed. I halved the amount of onion, used 3 avocados, a little sour cream and added cilantro> The cilantro gave it the flavor it needed and added a nice little kick!
Dad, Kevin and Amanda all liked. Used a couple sprinkles of salt and 1 t lime juice.
I made it without the onion as I had none, and I doubled up on the garlic to compensate. Wow!
There was way too much lime juice for just two avocados. The recipe was fair, but less lime juice would have definitely been a plus.
Yummity yum yum!!! I love, love, LOVE avocados, and guacamole is one of the best ways to use them. This was a very easy recipe (I used a bit less onion and tomato than called for, because I didn't want either to overpower the delicious-ness of the avocados). I was polite and gave a little bit to the guys for their fajitas (1T each, Ha!!), but the rest was alllll mine!
It was actually really good, I made it for classmates in foods class and they liked it a lot.
After I was done preparing this easy guacamole, I knew something else was missing......cilantro!!!! You can't have guacamole without cilantro!!! (At least I do) :) Delicious!!
I used minced yellow onion instead of white onion which has a little more "bite". Also added cilantro. Lime juice does perk up the flavors.
My guests really liked it and were trying to guess what made the avocado so good! Simple ingredients but great taste. I substituted onions with minced shallots (commonly available in Asia) and use lemon juice which was at hand. VERY VERY quick to do.
Tasted very good. I did add more garlic than it called for, but I love garlic. Great and very easy!
Quick and easy. Add a dollop of Sour Cream for fun!
WOW! Bought Avocados about 1wk prior, put in paper bag to ripen. All you need to do is invert skin. This makes is VERY easy to mash. I substituted LEMON for lime juice. SUPER easy and GREAT tasting .. The left overs are great on sandwiches.
OK... I made this and within 20 minutes it was gone. Excellent flavor.
This was awesome guacamole! It was my first time making it and it was soooo delicious!
I was looking for a quick and simple recipe to use up an Avocado that had been forgotten about. This was perfect right up until I realize it assumes all fresh ingredients. I am not a pro chef, so I do not just know how to convert fresh to bottled ingredients. It would be awesome if you had at least measurements for all the add-in ingredients if one is forced to use, onion powder, garlic powder, bottled lime juice, etc....
Good and simple. The first time I made it I measured the lime juice and put in too much. But the second time, it was perfect.
This recipe is will do if you're in a hurry, or don't have more than the simple ingredients at hand, but if you're going out to buy avocados, go ahead and buy a little bunch of cilantro--it gives it a wonderfully fresh flavour. A little too much lime for me in this one--slightly overpowering. I definitely prefer the guacamole by Bob Cody.
Once I modified the ingredient amounts, this was the perfect guacamole for us. I use 1/4 to 1/2 of an onion (instead of a whole one) and 1/2 a lime's worth of juice. Salt liberally; avocadoes love salt!
This came out great. I did leave out the onion. My three year old extremely picky eater actually liked this! and she is very anti-green foods. She calls this wack-a-moleee and says it's super good.
First time making guac at home and it turned out fabulous! Even DD liked it and gave it a 4. I made mine a half mash and left some chunks in it. It was served this with homemade corn torilla chips. Yum!
Depending on what you prefer, you may want to add less onion and less lime/lemon (I find that either lime or lemon tastes great). And if you like a bit of kick, add a pinch of Cayenne pepper. Other than those little adjustments, this is a pretty solid recipe that would please most!
Excellent. Simple. Perfect. Guacamole doesn't get any better or easier than this recipe!!
This has become a house favorite! Dh isn't keen on avocados but I could eat them by the truck load! And it's not *really* guacamole unless it has tomato in it!!! We altered it a bit but it is just devine! We added onion flakes instead of an onion; added fresh minced garlic that you can buy in jars and added a fair more than that equal to a clove; used 2 whole peeled canned tomatoes and chopped them; used juice from half a lemon (instead of lime); pepped up with some cayene pepper and a bit of chile. YUMMY!!!!
excellent recipe - I suggest adding 1/2 of a jalapeno pepper and a little salt to spice it up a little.
I was asked to bring guacamole to a party. I personally don't like the taste of avacados, and I made this recipe exactly, since I didn't know what would taste good. So many people complimented on this, many of them love guacamole and were asking for this recipe
Simple amazing! Simple, and amazing! Nothing else I can say; also, it's very versatile, can add your own variation of whatever you like, whether it be salsa, or sour cream, or whatever. Just great!
Great recipe. The first time I made it I squeezed the recommended 1 whole lime, but the taste of lime was overpowering. The second time I used just one half of a lime and it was perfect. This guacamole tastes just like it would at a restauraunt!
Fabulous recipe! Simple and tasty. I add as many tomatoes as I'd like, and I vary the lime juice and garlic depending on my mood! So tasty!
Good dip. I added just a bit more garlic. Still made for a good guacamole!
Yum! This was great! If this is your first time using avocado, be aware that they should be slightly mushy when ripe. I did't know that at first and bought hard avocados which I was not able to mash up! The second time though, it was tasty! I will make this again.
I never knew guacamole was so easy to make. I followed the recipe as written. Definitely way, way too much onion. I'm almost think onion powder would be a better choice, but that's for next time's effort. Otherwise I'm a homemade guacamole convert.
Awesome! I really thought that it would take a lot to make a really good guacamole, but this recipe is so easy, and very tasty!
Good recipe, but I added a few ingredients after trying it "as is" first. First, 1 chopped, seeded jalapeno. Second, I use red onion instead of white. Third, add 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, more chopped garlic and more lime juice as needed (I use the squeeze bottle of RealLime). I also add a splash of Crystal hot sauce, but that is personal preference 'cause I like the heat! After these additions, it was 5 stars!
This is excellent, I have been making for years. I usually add more garlic. Thank you.
Incredible! We loved this-ate so much we were full before dinner. I added a few Tablespoons of sour cream and a bit of extra lime juice. I served it with lime flavored tortilla chips which was yum!
Absolutely delicious! This recipe for guacamole saved the day! I thought there was some of that guacamole mix stuff left, but there wasn't and the grocery store by my house didn't have it. I rushed here to find a guacamole recipe, and I found this one. Thank goodness! It tasted sooo good! I omitted tomatoes though because my mom's a bit picky with her guacamole. Thanks so much for this delicious recipe!
This was simple, fresh and good. I traded jalapeños for onions. This is a good recipe for kids who don't care for things too spicy. Thank you Denise Goodman for your recipe.
Very fast, very easy to make!! I added some lemon juice as well to help with the coloring so it's not so brown. I also used garlic salt instead of regular salt.
This is a great recipe, but plain tasting. I add tabasco & more garlic to give it more of a kick.
