You can’t just walk in and pick up avocados like you do oranges or apples without some knowledge, beforehand. There is a bit of an art to choosing ripe avocados and there is a small window of opportunity when you can use them. How to choose & prep avocados that are perfectly ripe is a bit of an art. Get great tips on prep, method & ingredients for making (& storing) the best guacamole ever! Our family thought we hated guac… until we tried these tips & methods! It was just the green stuff that sat on the side of our plate. But, now, it’s an addiction & we get the green stuff cravings! 🥑

My Awesome Guacamole Recipe:

3 Avocados
1 juiced Lime
3/4 t. Salt
1/2 or 1/3 small Onion- finely diced
Cilantro- 1 T fresh, chopped or 1 t. dry
1- 2 large clove(s) Garlic, minced or 1 t. dry minced garlic
Optional- diced Tomato and Jalepeno or Cayenne peppers.

Mash avocados with fork or masher then stir in rest of ingredients lightly; Serves 6+.

Warning! Avocados are toxic to all animals, so don’t let pets lick the bowl!!!

This guacamole keeper is rated well. I haven’t tried yet, but I’d like to try & will let you know how it goes when I do!
