I used to have a video post showing how I liked to make my Guacamole but it was one of the videos I lost in my big video crash! So in the words of Snookie (from the Jersey Shore)…
Waaaahhhhhh!!! (oh don’t even pretend like you haven’t seen it).
These are some simple guidelines I use to get my Guacamole just the way I like it:
1. Garlic. I’m a big flavor girl, SO I like big flavor guacamole. Translation = lots of garlic!
2. Scallions. I prefer the milder flavor of scallions over onions in my guacamole (I’m kind of contradicting my big flvor theory here BUT trust me, it works!).
3. No tomatoes. I like to garnish with tomatoes but I never stir them in – they tend to add too much liquid. (If you really like tomatoes in your guac, then I suggest removing the seeds first [something I do not have the patience to do!]).
4. Cilantro. People either love it or hate it! I love it.
Game-Day (or any day) Guacamole
Ingredients
2 fat cloves of garlic, minced (about 1/2 tsp)
3 scallions, minced(about ¼ cup)
1/4 jalapeno, minced (more or less depending on your taste)
2 tbsp chopped cilantro
The juice from 1/2 a lime (possibly more depending on how juicy the lime)
2 avocados
A fat pinch of salt
Directions
Combine the garlic, scallions and jalapeno in a medium bowl.
Add in avocado and lime and then using the back of your fork, mash the avocado in with the rest of the ingredients until you have a nice chunky consistency.
Season with a little salt and adjust to your taste. Enjoy!!
Makes 8 servings.

Great pic and recipe! I used to use red onion but the last couple of batches I used shallots instead and those worked very well. Also instead of tomato I use red pepper, which I do mix in. Otherwise I think mine is the same as yours, it’s one of those recipes I’ve never written down…
I’m currently here in the US and just had my first taste of guacamole the other day. I loved it! I’m planning to make one when I get home. Your recipe’s so easy!
Yum! I LOVE AVOCADOS…don’t they just make the world a better place?! I like your spin on guacamole…d’lish!
I will definitely give this one a try. And I love the fact that you know who Snookie is LOL.
Love it! This is the classic guacamole, however I’m gonna add about 4 jalapenos… I’m mexican, i love spicy food!
Thanks!
Hello! I just discovered your website a couple of weeks ago and really like it! However, this recipe’s directions seem incomplete. Are there some steps missing?
Johna – Thanks for the heads up! I just fixed the recipe:)
Thanks so much– I’ll be making it tonight!
