The “Best Ever” is definitely to use Jason’s Guac Starter and Haas Avocados… For 2 reasons… it’s super easy, and It ROCKS!

This isn’t a guacamole recipe, but my favorite thing to do with an avocado is halve it, peel it, remove the pit, and slice off a bit of the round part so it will rest firmly on a plate. Then I just pour some fresh vinaigrette over it and into the hole where the pit was, and eat. You can make the vinaigrette with lime to pick up on the citrus flavor of guacamole. Simple and delicious!

3 – 4 Avocados
2 Tbsp Sour Cream
2 Tbsp Mayo
2 cloves garlic
2 tomatoes, diced
5 – 6 drops red hot
salt & pepper

Mash avocados, mix in sour cream & mayo. Crush garlic & mix in with red hot. Taste & adjust to liking. Mix all & serve.

Best when chilled.

The Texan who knows, using those simple ingredients, is dead on! I would only add that one will find best flavor and least pesticides (presumably) when those ingredients are organic. Cheers!

My daughter’s favorite “Guac”
2 or 3 avocados, peeled and chopped
2-3 tbsps Pico de Gallo from Whole Foods, of course
either mash with fork or whirl in food processor.
Serve atop mixed green salad and garnish with crumbled tortilla chips, olives and a sprinkle of cheese.
The best!

AnneF’s recipe, minus the garlic, is my standby recipe but here is one a friend prepares that gets rave reviews every time. Consider it a “fancy” guacamole.

2 large chopped avocados
2 chopped roma tomatoes
1/4 minced red onion
1 minced clove garlic
1 TBLS olive oil
1 TBLS chopped fresh parsley
1 1/2 TSP red wine vinegar
4 oz. crumbled feta cheese
salt and pepper to taste

Combine all ingredients, mix gently.

ps–people who hate feta cheese love this guacamole.
