Easy Homemade Guacamole

This guacamole is easy to make and quick to disappear.

Nothing beats fresh homemade guacamole.

It makes a wonderful appetizer served with tortilla chips, and it’s a delicious topper for burgers, omelets, scrambled eggs, salad, toast and sandwiches.

About this Recipe:

This recipe serves 3 but after the chef does the “taste testing”, it may be more like a serving for 2 because this guac is so scrumptious that it’s hard to stop eating it.

Speaking of taste testing, it’s important to add enough salt to give it the best flavor possible.

So, make sure to add more salt if needed.

This guacamole is best when made right before serving so the color is nice and bright.

Let’s check out the ingredients.

Ripe Hass avocados, red onion, Roma tomatoes, lime, jalapeno pepper, cilantro and salt
