Creamy. Satisfying. Savory. Guacamole!
Guacamole fulfills that need for something creamy. And it is nutritious. Avocados have beneficial monounsaturated fat, high amounts of vitamin K and E, contain folate, potassium, lutein and magnesium, not to mention vitamin C and B6.
I have been making this recipe for several years now. I prefer my guac chunky so I hand mash and have good sized tomato pieces. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do.

I’m a sucker for ALL guacamole recipes! There are just so many wonderful ways to enjoy the beautiful avocado. I look forward to trying yours!
Aw thanks, Heather! I really need to branch out and try other combinations with avocado. I once heard a radio interview with a guy who wrote a cookbook with 30 or so different guacamole recipes. That was before I was a foodie though and I can’t remember the book or the author.
