The Best Guacamole Ever

For guacamole makers, the guacamole recipe is a huge source of pride.  Those of us who have been to a guac-off (no really, it’s a thing), know that every guacamole maker at such an event is convinced their recipe is the guacamole recipe to end all guacamole recipes. Did I say guacamole enough for you? Guacamole. It’s totally one of those words that gets weirder the more you say it. Guacamole.

Anyhow, for those who have never made guacamole before I’ll save you the trouble of experimenting with various ingredients and ratios. Seriously. Don’t go crazy and start adding weird things like pickles and olives. This is the only guacamole recipe you’ll ever need.  See?! Now I’m the delusional guacamole maker.

so what makes this the best guacamole?

What? It’s not enough for me to just tell you that it’s the best? You don’t trust me? Fair enough. Guacamole is serious business.

This is the best guacamole because it’s just simple. It doesn’t try to complicate things with extra ingredients. This is the guacamole that has gone back to its roots. It’s garlicky, but not too garlicky. It’s quite lime forward. It has a bit of a bite from the onions and cayenne. And it’s balanced by just the right amount of salt. Not too much. Not too little.  In short, it’s perfect!

why this guacamole is a smart choice

While the 90s produced some amazing music and I’m glad radio stations to this darling decade are now popping up, it did a HUGE disservice to fat!

The 90s are making a comeback with its choker necklaces, harem pants, and velour dresses but thankfully not its fat phobia.

There are different types of fat in our food and some of them are actually quite good for us! We need fat for a plethora of reasons, and the main ones found in avocados, called monounsaturated fatty acids, are important for heart health, insulin management, and even your MOOD!
