Homemade Guacamole

March 10, 2013

Guacamole

Truth… This month is the first time I’ve bought and used an avocado. Ever.

Another truth… Last month was the first time we’d ever had guacamole in the house.

I can’t believe I went so long without trying guacamole. It took someone suggesting that I try some at a local mom -n- pop Mexican restaurant for me to even realize that that gooey green stuff actually tasted really good!

I bought some Wholly Guacamole for Emma’s birthday party last month, and everyone ooh’d and aah’d over how good it was.

Now that we’re in the middle of a Whole30 challenge, I’ve tried my hand at making my own guacamole. I was shocked at how simple it was.

Homemade Guacamole

1 avocado – pit removed, peeled, and smashed
1/8 tsp. onion powder
1/4 tsp. garlic salt
a dash or two of red pepper

  1. Smash the avocado flesh. I do this with a fork.
  2. Add seasonings.
  3. Mix well.

Yep. That’s it. Easy peasy.

    I can’t believe that! Guac is the best. Although I also love plain avocado in my salads, sandwiches, etc. So glad you’ve seen the light!

      It’s only taken me (ahem) 40 years. 🙂
