Simple Guacamole

This is the second guacamole recipe I’m posting on my site.  I know what you’re probably thinking.  How many guacamole recipes does one blog need, really?  Turns out, you might need more than one recipe for guacamole.

The first recipe I shared, way back when this blog was still a baby, is still my go-to guacamole recipe if I’m ever making it for a crowd.  It’s a solid recipe.  But more often than not, I’m making guacamole for just me and my little partner in guacamole-eating crime, Luke.

It’s a lunch-time staple for Luke and me and this is the recipe I use when I’m wanting to keep it simple and whip it up quickly.  You know, while a hungry two-year-old is barreling into the pantry saying, “I hungry, Mama!”  Those days, I offer to let him help and he’s happy.

Some people might call this “guacamole verde” because there are no tomatoes.  I call it simple guacamole.  It’s heavy on the lime and cilantro, just the way I like it.  Not too chunky, but not too smooth.  No spiciness for the little ones to complain about.  Just right.

Simple Guacamole

This is a simple guacamole you will commit to memory after making it just once or twice.  I promise it will quickly become your go-to guacamole recipe.  It can easily be doubled or tripled to accommodate a crowd.

      It seems that people either love cilantro or totally hate it. I’m definitely in the love camp. 🙂
