Just double everything once or twice for a larger group.

1/4 of an avocado contains only 2mg sodium, so not adding salt makes a big difference. With the addition of other spices for flavor it cuts the sodium to a lower level!

Enjoy!

Tried this one from Eating Well a few weeks ago and I really enjoyed it. Lower cal too with the use of zucchini (you don't even taste the difference) so you're able to eat more!

Ingredients
1 large zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 large ripe avocado, cubed
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons lime juice
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce, such as Tabasco, or more to taste
1/4 teaspoon salt

Preparation
Place zucchini in a microwave-safe dish, cover with a damp paper towel and microwave on High until tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain in a sieve, pressing lightly on the zucchini to extract any liquid.
Transfer the zucchini to a large bowl; add avocado, cilantro, onion, garlic, lime juice, hot sauce and salt and coarsely mash until combined.

I just mash up an avocado and add some taco sauce or salsa to it, easy and taste as good the "real" stuff :-)

I just add 1/4 one to my salad each day but it is good in Mexican chicken soup as well

yay! another win for me! I just tried guacamole at work for the first time today and fell for it instantly. it was a bit spicy and i was going to look for a milder recipe... now I have a whole selection to choose from. really glad i joined MFP.

I just dice 1 roma tomato, mash up 1 avocado and add as much lemon juice as needed. Simple and tastes great.
