I made this Guacamole this past weekend. Not because I was having friends over or because I was going to a friend’s house and wanted to bring something. I didn’t make this Guac because I had to use up some ripe avocados lest they spoil. And I certainly didn’t make it because I was cooking my family a wonderful Mexican meal. Nope.
I made it because I love Guacamole–I love dips in general, and I love snacking. I love snacking too much.
I don’t want to brag but this Guacamole is the best…hands down. It just is. Lots are made with lime juice and I really like what the lemon juice does for it. The original recipe doesn’t call for jalapeno or cilantro but I usually add both in. It’s good without the jalapeno and cilantro but it’s gooder with. Yes, gooder is a word. Anyways, try it for yourself, and don’t be ashamed if you eat the whole bowl on your own. Hold your head up high and own it.
