  This was literally “finger licking good “ in a way that the fried chicken only dreams of. Not only was I licking off what had gotten on my fingers while mixing, but when I was putting away the dishes, I wiped out every bit I could from the mixing bowl with my fingers, was dying for just one more taste. Amazing what a difference order of addition can make! And because I was able to make it immediately before serving, it was actually better than any restaurant guacamole, since they aren’t making it to order. Second time this week that a really simple recipe from here has let me make a Mexican restaurant staple that exceeds any restaurant’s that we’ve ever had, and that is a strong statement. (The first one was the Mexican Fried Rice, which I’ve been snacking on for two days)

  This is the best ever guacamole recipe. I bashed the onion etc with a pestle. It makes a difference. Kept the avocado nice and chunky for great texture. Added chunky pieces of skinned and de-seeded cherry tomatoes for colour. This is the most flavorful, authentic guacamole recipe I have made.

  Fresh and and bright, with lots of different different flavour notes that all work well together. Loved it!

  Fabulous guac! I made this to go with the enchiladas and it was a huge hit everyone including my garlic-crazy daughter. I love that this is based on an authentic Mexican recipe. Big hugs to you and Dozer xoxo

  Shmoonching the onion is a game-changer! I've been making guac for decades, usually microwaving the chopped onion, but this is so much better! 🌟

  Yesterday I made the Guacamole (best recipe ever) along with your Thai Chicken Balls. Both went down a treat with my friends.

  Glad there was a substitute for cilantro because it makes everything taste like soap to me. Chives I love.

  Love this recipe! I've made it a number of times but just experimented with throwing all the ingredients in a bowl and then using a stick blender. Perfect.

  Love the guac! Refreshing to see a recipe that DOESN'T call for sour cream or worse, mayonnaise! (Yuck) Anyway, I got a ganga box of avocados that the store was about to toss, so they're all at peak ripeness! Now it's time to make a 5 gallon batch of goodness. Honestly though, what made me comment was Dozer. My best friend of 11 years is also named Dozer! I've had him since he was 4 weeks old and he has been my sidekick ever since. Good to see another foodie with a love of the 4 legged companions. Good guac, Good dog, Good god, Let's eat! (Not the dog, of course, but we eat together!)
