This classic Mexican dish, dating back to the Aztecs, is so versatile that it can be used as a dip, condiment or salad dressing.

  1. I eat homemade guacamole at breakfast a couple of mornings a week, especially in the summer. I cut cucumber rounds, red bell pepper strips, carrot and celery sticks and use the guacamole as a dip. I eat a couple of eggs on the side for protein. YUMM!

  2. OK, maybe I’m dense overall, but I hate when recipes just say “onion”…red onion? white onion? yellow onion? I’ve never really been a fan of guac so I’m not sure what the standard is but I want to try this.

    • Any kind of onion will work fine. I personally prefer red onion minced pretty small.

  3. I squeeze a tiny bit of fresh lemon juice over guacamole dip.
    It keeps the gray away til next day!
