This dip was really good but after a few changes that's the reason I'm only giving 4 stars. I added extra tomatoes jalapenos and lots of cilantro I can't imagine this dip without the flavor of cilantro. Read More

I would definitely use garlic instead of onion add some black beans (out of a can) and... well maybe I have a different recipe altogether. Read More

This is a really good basic recipe. I like my guacamole chunky so I usually do 1 tomato 1-2 avocado 1/4-1/2 an onion minced. And I use a splash of lime juice instead of lemon a sprinkling of salt and a bunch of chopped cilantro. This is a great starter recipe though for someone who has never really made guacamole.

There's nothing like a really good guacamole! I cut the recipe in half and used de-seeded my tomato and since not "type" of onion was specified I chose a red onion. I used fresh lime juice instead of lemon juice and added a bit of garlic salt 1 Tbsp. of chopped cilantro and 1/4 tsp. of cumin. Great with warm tortilla chips! Read More
