Guacamole is the go-to party dip for good reason. It pairs perfectly with tortilla chips and is creamy, delicious and best of all, so easy to make! All you need is one bowl, a handful of ingredients and a few minutes to whip it up.

Pro Tip: The key to making perfect guacamole is to use ripe avocados. The avocados should be dark green in color and should slightly yield to pressure. If the avocados are light green and feel hard when you squeeze them, they are not ripe yet. If the avocados are dark green but feel very soft, they may be overripe and will not taste good.

For this Homemade Guacamole recipe, I recommend:

  • Citrus Juicer – If you cook with a lot of citrus, a sturdy juicer is a must. This one works for both lemons and limes and will squeeze out every last drop of juice like a pro. Worth every penny.

    there was mexican food catered in for lunch yesterday at my office, and it was delicious. but there were a ton of chips and no salsa or guac; what’s up with that?! anyways, this sounds super similar to how i make guac (: i like cilantro and jalapeno, but they’re not MUST HAVES like garlic and onion are (;

      Hey Heather! Yes chips without any salsa and guac is a definite no-no. Although if there was queso dip I could have let it slide! 😉 Yeah this is the way I always make guacamole! I need to have a bit of garlic and onion for flavor and texture! 🙂
