My recipe that I *love* but is practically pure avocado (high calories) is:

1 avocado, 2 shakes of Tabasco, 1 minced garlic clove, juice of half a lime, salt and pepper.

If you have a nice homemade guacamole recipe please add it!

    Pretty much what I do, sometimes I omit the garlic (eventhough I love garlic)

    And I typically used dried or fresh chilies over tabasco...that way you can make it spicier too.

    Cilantro is awesome too in it.

    It looks kinda nasty but mixing in diced tomatoes is pretty good too or salsa if you are feeling lazy.

    I also sometime just use pure avocado or add some chili powder, cumin and oregano (one of my favorite combos)

    Guacamole is awesome, I know someone who almost called it" whack a mole" cause they never heard of it and thought it was gross. This was not by accident either...some people???!!???

    Homemade guacamole - 3 avocados, chopped red onion, chopped jalapeno, chopped cilantro, juice of one lime and sea salt. Mix it up and it's delicious. Add crushed garlic if you like - but yummy without it.

    Yes! this is exactly what I do except usually just two avocados. To me it doesn't taste right without a little red onion!

    I cut mine with tomato: equal parts avocado and chopped tomato, cilantro, red onion, garlic, lime juice, and cumin- maybe a little of your favourite hot sauce on top- SO GOOD.

    This avocado yogurt dip is my new obsession. It's like a creamy guacamole dip.

    Cilantro is also known as Chinese parsley. It's not parsley though. It grows from the coriander seed I believe.

    just been searching for answer , it seems it is the flat leaf parsley as opposed to the curly type . looks so much like coriander and is same family. it`s jogged my memory to nearly buying it instead of coriander as it appears so like it. i prefer coriander to this other , it has a more perfumed aroma and taste

    I have Never used garlic.

    Mine -

    Small onion, diced finely. Juice one lime and pour juice over the onion. Dice one jalapeño and one plum tomato finely. Mash two avocado. I then just play with the ingredients. I'll drain all of the lime juice from the onions into the avocado, then just add a little of the onion, jalapeño and tomato at a time along with some salt until it tastes right.
    I also recently started adding cilantro too. Same thing, chop some up and add a little at a time.

    The chef at my favorite local restaurant swears by cumin but i don't care for it as much.

    I LOVE avocados, but I am allergic to them, they make me incredibly sick. But oh, how I love them! Enjoy your guacamole for me...

    Omg, I LOVE, love, love guacomole... I don't have a recipe that I follow, I usually just mash an avacado, add 1 or 2 tsp of sour cream, teaspoon of lemon (or lime) juice, and some salt & pepper to taste... I like to add the sour cream for a more creamier consistency but I've had it without it and it's just as good.
