Guacamole
Oh guac, we love you. Always a crowd pleaser and ALWAYS better fresh. I think we’ve nailed the perfect guac recipe, and we cannot wait to share it with you! This recipe can easily be doubled for the whole family or parties!
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 lime
- 1 tomato
- garlic powder
- pink himalayan salt
- black pepper
- cilantro
- 1/2 red onion
Mash up your avocado in a big bowl (we just use a fork!), dice your tomato and onion and throw it in in the bowl. Then, juice one lime into the mixture. Add your garlic powder, pink salt, pepper, and cilantro to taste & viola, the PERFECT easy guac!
