Taco Tuesday wouldn’t be complete without a big bowl of guacamole! This Easy Guacamole recipe takes just 5 minutes and 5 ingredients to throw together.

I grew up in a house without guacamole. *Gasp!* Sad, I know. In fact, I didn’t actually eat an avocado until I was well into high school. If I’m being honest, I didn’t even really know what they were.

My mom, a bonafide guacamole lover for the first 20-something years of her life, developed a life-threatening allergy to avocados seemingly out of nowhere. What started as an innocent after-work snack ended up as a trip to the ER, so after that, nary an avocado was seen in our kitchen.

Thank god that’s over. Guac is still strictly off-limits for my poor, sweet mother, but now that I’m living on my own, I can stuff my face with as much delicious avocado as I please. (Sorry, mom. Love you.)

I have some hot takes on guacamole.

I believe in keeping it as simple as possible. In fact, I’d even go so far as to eliminate the red onion if I were really feeling lazy. All you really need to make a delicious dip are some ripe avocados, a ton of lime juice, a handful of cilantro, and plenty of salt.

I do typically spruce it up with some finely diced red onion, though. “Finely” is the key word here; huge hunks of red onion really interrupt the whole eating experience, imo.

But if you wanna jazz it up even more, feel free to chuck in some add-ins. Diced tomato and minced jalapeño are more than welcome in this here guacamole. Feeling crazy? Diced mango is delicious. Kyle would turn his nose up at it, but I’m a diehard sweet-and-savory lover, so load me up with mangos.

No matter your sweet-and-savory preferences, though, there’s no reason not to make this guacamole. Five minutes to dip nirvana. You’re welcome.

Craving something to eat with this guac? Pile it on:
Roasted Vegetable Tostadas
Smoky Roasted Cauliflower and Chickpea Tacos
Southwest Sweet Potato Breakfast Hash
or a really big chip, as shown here

Ya know when you open up a can of tomato paste jus Ya know when you open up a can of tomato paste just to scoop out one tablespoon?

They're crazy-fast, super delicious, and have the added feature of using an ENTIRE can of tomato paste.

Really missing the farmers market right about now. Really missing the farmers market right about now. My weekly trips to the crowded, colorful marketplace are one of my favorite parts of summer. But at least I can still appreciate the beauty in the small things, like a bunch of asparagus fresh from the ground. Hopefully soon I'll be able to get back to my favorite place ☀️🧺🌾

My favorite part about summer? Cookouts. Most defi My favorite part about summer? Cookouts. Most definitely. Truly, is there anything better than standing barefoot in the grass, beer in hand, with good good smells wafting off the grill and a table filled with side dishes? 🥰🍻☀️ Pretty sure nothing can top that. This summer will undoubtedly look a little different. But I'll still be cooking like it's peak grilling season, and you best believe this Cucumber Orzo Pasta Salad will grace my table QUITE often 👏🏼 This super-simple side packs a whole lot of flavor with a shockingly short ingredients list.
