Signed a girl who thought she hate guac!
Whats the serving size? (Ex. 1/4 cup?)
Kaye Forrest on 2026-02-05 17:18:27 (5 stars): This is perfect -avocados shine through with an amazing balance of flavors to compliment them! Thank you!
Owen on 2026-02-01 01:03:24 (5 stars): This stuff is BOMB!! The cumin is a great addition.. I had rather large limes and it did come out with a very heavy citrus flavor. Not an issue for me personally, but the size of your limes could be something to be aware of if anyone making this doesn’t want it too sour.

Genevieve on 2025-08-10 20:03:08 (5 stars): One of the best guacamole recipes that got it right. Cumin is a staple. For those spice sensitive, I sub in cayenne pepper instead of jalapeños when needed. Thank you!
