Let’s dive into the world of a simple guacamole recipe – that green goodness we can’t get enough of! Hailing from Mexico, guacamole has become a global sensation for all the right reasons.

Picture this: ripe avocados mashed to creamy perfection, mixed with diced tomatoes, onions, cilantro, lime juice, and a sprinkle of seasoning. It’s a flavour explosion in every bite! And the best part? You can customize it however you like – spicy, mild, chunky, or smooth.

But it’s not just about taste; guacamole is a nutritional powerhouse too! Avocados are packed with healthy fats and tons of vitamins, making guac a guilt-free pleasure.

And let’s talk about its social power. Whether you’re at a party, a picnic, or just chilling at home, guacamole brings people together. It’s the ultimate sharing food, sparking conversations and creating unforgettable moments.

In a nutshell, guacamole is more than just a dip – it’s a symbol of good times and great flavours. So, next time you’re craving a snack, grab some chips and dive into a bowl of this green gold. You won’t regret it!

Simple Guacamole is a Mexican dish that’s perfect as a side dish or as a dip with tortilla chips/breads. Either way, this always gets eaten and never left. The recipe is simple to prep and best of all there is no cooking and can be made in advance. I use sliced red chillies in this recipe but jalapenos are a perfect substitute for a more authentic taste.

I notice that a post has already been loaded regarding the best method to keep guacamole green for longer. If you love it as much as my family do, this is worth the read.
