    Rumor has it that my husband makes some of the best guacamole around.   His guacamole is usually a big hit at our parties, with guests parking themselves in front of it, so I thought it was worth sharing!

    It’s really very simple to make and only includes five main ingredients — avocados, garlic, lime, salsa, cilantro — and, some spices that you likely already have on hand. We suggest you serve it with tortilla chips — or raw veggies if you want to offer a healthier option.

    Of course, as with all of our recipes, you can modify it to your liking and substitute ingredients, as necessary.  For example, if ripe tomatoes are available in your neck of the woods, throw some chopped tomatoes into your guacamole (vs. the salsa we suggest).  If you don’t like cilantro, skip it.

    Make the recipe your own! (but, it’s pretty good as is!)

    5-Ingredient Guacamoleguacamole ingredients

    4 ripe Haas avocados

    1 large clove of garlic, crushed

    juice of 1 lime

    1/2 cup of store bought salsa

    handful of cilantro, chopped

    1 teaspoon of salt

    1/2 teaspoon of cumin

    1/8 teaspoon of pepper

    Cut avocados in half, remove pit, score each avocado and scoop flesh out into a bowl.  Mash the avocado with a fork until you achieve the desired consistency (some people like their guacamole chunky, others like it more mashed — all a matter of preference).  Add crushed garlic, juice of one lime, chopped cilantro, salt, cumin and pepper.  Mix until incorporated.  Serve immediately!

    Enjoy~
