Guacamole is a staple in our home. Whether it be on a sandwich, as a dip or part of a quesadilla, guacamole is a go-to for delicious, nutritious condiment/dip. Our recipe for the best guacamole is made from a traditional Mexican recipe using the freshest ingredients. The best part of guacamole is how versatile it is. Whether you love it spread on a sandwich, inside a burrito or used as a dip for chips guacamole is great to have around the house and once you start making your own, you will never go back to store bought guac again!
- 3 ripe avocados
- 2 persian limes big ones
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 large white onion Vidalia finely chopped
- 1/2 jalapeño seeded and finely diced (wear gloves)
- Salt and Pepper to taste
-
Place onion and jalapeño in a bowl with garlic powder, salt and pepper coat with juice of limes.

There are many variations to this guacamole depending on your taste and preference. You can char corn and add it to the guacamole, hide some other leafy greens (Kale, spinach etc.) in your guacamole for added nutrients. Whichever way you like to eat it, guacamole is a fantastic appetizer, dip or spread perfect for your next casual gathering or dinner party.

I love avocados but never think to buy much less make my own guacamole. Persian Limes–I have never heard of or seen in any store I have shopped–I better start looking more carefully.

I used to like guacamole, but recently found out that i am allergic to avocados..
We grew avocado tree in my mom’s backyard back in the Philippines but back then I didn’t know how to make guacamole. You made a good dipping for chip.

I have had fresh made guacamole a couple of times but have never made it myself. I would love to try and will use your recipe. This is the only way I eat avocados!
Try it. It’s so easy & versatile. I showed a friend how to make it and she couldn’t believe how easy it was.
love guac
I love guacamole and make it so frequently.
One day I shall be brave enough to make my own..so far I just buy it.
Guacamole is a staple at our home too! Pinned!
This sounds great. I usually end up making my guac with lemon but I think lime tastes better, I’ll have to try it.
This looks a lot more yummy than the guacamole that I usually make.
I like that we can easily cut this in half. My wife is the only one who eats it and she always ends up buying it and throwing half of it away.
